Alwar, May 20 -- New safari routes will be developed in Sariska Tiger Reserve under the Tiger Conservation Plan, an official said on Monday.

We are now planning to implement a plan to have new safari routes under the Tiger Conservation Plan. An additional of two routes will be added under this new proposal. This will increase the area accessible to 12-14%," Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Abhimanyu Saharan said.

Despite high tiger activity in these zones, current safari routes remain limited, restricting tourist access," he said. Saharan further said that the development of new safari paths is expected to significantly enhance tiger sighting opportunities for visitors while ensuring minimal disturbance to the wildlife. Notably, a tigress recently gave birth to four cubs in the northern zone, contributing to a sharp increase in the local tiger population....
