State Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said that the two tigresses captured recently in Maharashtra's Chandrapur by the forest department will be released into the Navegaon Nagzira Tiger Reserve (NNTR) on Saturday as part of a tiger translocation programme aimed at curbing the man-animal conflict in the district.

This is the first translocation of tigers within the state, Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar claimed while talking to PTI.
