Rajnish Kumar, Deputy Conservator of Forest, informed that the tigress is much protective for cubs and she has given birth to the cubs about six months back but pictures were not being recorded. After several efforts, pictures of the tigress and cubs have been recorded in camera that proved the health status of cubs.
