The Wildlife Institute of India (WII), which has been monitoring tiger T1C1's 2,000-km journey from Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary to the Dnyanganga forest, told mid-day that the animal seems to have settled down in the area and will not disperse further. A committee has also been set up to see whether another tiger can be released in the sanctuary as a mate for T1C1.

Senior scientist from WII, Dr Bilal Habib, who along with his team has been tracking the movement of T1C1, said, "Our team has been tracking tiger T1C1's movement and till date it has travelled close to 2,000 km. Currently it's inside Dnyanganga wildlife sanctuary. It has already settled down in the sanctuary and will not disperse now."
