The number of tiger cubs in the Sariska National Park in Rajasthan's Alwar district has risen to 14 with the birth of two cubs, an official said.             

A tigress named ST-14 has given birth to two cubs, which were first spotted last night in cameras. The cubs are two-months-old, official said.
