Probe launched as 25 tigers reported missing from Ranthambore Tiger Reserve
In response to alarming findings in a recent internal report, Rajasthan’s Chief Wildlife Warden, Pavan Kumar Upadhyay, has established a three-member committee to investigate the reported disappearance of 25 tigers from the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. Upadhyay’s order, dated November 4, notes ongoing concerns in tiger monitoring data, which indicate the absence of concrete evidence for the whereabouts of 11 tigers for over a year and 14 others for less than a year. Ranthambore, home to around 75 tigers, recently lost tigers T-58 and T-86.
According to Upadhyay, multiple reminders were issued to the Field Director of Ranthambore to address the issue, yet conditions remain unsatisfactory. The committee, composed of senior Forest Department officials—APCCF (Wildlife) Rajesh Kumar Gupta, Dr. T Mohan Raj, and Manas Singh—has been directed to submit a comprehensive report within two months. Their tasks include investigating the efforts made by field authorities to locate the missing tigers, examining records, recommending disciplinary actions if needed, and providing suggestions to improve the reserve’s monitoring systems.

Junior doctor dies after hospital delays treatment over payment in Hyderabad
A tragic incident unfolded at Medicover Hospital in Madhapur on Wednesday, November 6, when a junior doctor, Nagapriya, passed away after the hospital allegedly delayed her treatment due to unpaid medical fees. The victim's family claims they had already paid Rs 3 lakh for an operation, but were asked for an additional Rs 1 lakh for a procedure.
The family alleges that the doctors did not proceed with the critical procedure until the additional payment was made. After the payment was reportedly made, the hospital informed them of Nagapriya's death. This has led to protests from the family, demanding justice and an investigation into the hospital’s practices.
Local police have started investigating the case, and further legal action may be taken based on the family's complaints. Meanwhile, the hospital has not issued an official statement in response to the allegations.
