This is for the second time in two years that Kazi has delivered. On June 15, Kazi and Danush gave birth to Sultan and Suresh during the pandemic lockdown period of 2020. According to the zoo authorities, the pandemic lockdown indeed provided the much-required break for the animals. The Assam State Zoo is quite big and natural and thereby it has successfully bred tigers even during normal days.
Principal Chief Conservator of Forest Amit Sahai said the mother is being taken care of with a nutritious diet.
The tiger population in Assam has increased to 200 in 2021 from 159 in 2018. The authorities said that it is now going to attract more visitors as the government has ended all Covid restrictions in the state.
