Efforts have been paced up to rescue an elusive tigress who has been moving about with a wire stuck around the lower part of its stomach for around a year. Two cages have been put up at places frequented by the tigress in the Surai range of Terai East Forest Division, its DFO Sandeep Gupta said. The 10-year-old tigress has been living under the observation of scientists in the range located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. However, it has not been rescued yet, he said. A five-member team including Sub Divisional Forest Officer Sanchita Verma, a veterinarian and a wildlife scientist has been formed to carry out the work, Gupta said.
