The expert says
Wildlife veterinarian and forensic expert Dr Prayag H S said, "I really appreciate the efforts that the Maharashtra Forest Department is taking to rescue the orphaned sub-adult cubs of T1, based on the technical and scientific suggestions made by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA)-appointed committee.

They are also following the NTCA protocol for the rescue of the orphaned cubs. Getting Dr Akhilesh Mishra and four elephants for the rescue operation is a very wise decision. Having worked with Dr Mishra and his team, I can say that they are one of the best teams in the country with credible experience of safely rescuing big cats and orphaned cubs in the wild."
