Goa Opposes Tiger Book Recommendation, Mentions Absence of Resident Tiger Population
Panaji: The Goa government is challenging a Main Empowered Board (CEC) record suggesting the alert of a tiger book in the state. In an affidavit submitted with the Supreme Court, authorities labeled the record “obscure” and lacking valid or lawful basis.
- Trick Contention: Goa says the absence of a resident tiger population negates the requirement for a dedicated get.
- CEC Suggestion: Phased notification, focusing on areas surrounding Karnataka’s Kali Tiger Get.
- Goa’s Position: Existing safeguarded locations adequately secure transient tigers, with no demand for a tiger get.
- Next Steps: The Supreme Court is arranged to listen to the case on February 16
