Tiger spotted in Namdapha after eight years in Arunachal Pradesh

Many had started calling Namdapha in Arunachal Pradesh a tiger reserve without tigers due to non-sighting of the big cat since 2015.

After about eight years, on February 8, staff of the 1985 sq km tiger reserve, however, got a reprieve when camera traps spotted an adult Royal Bengal tiger inside the park.

On January 31, field staff received information about the presence of large pugmarks in the 17th-mile area near Deban inside the tiger reserve.
