The forest officials have already started taking safety measures around the area where the tigress was spotted with her cubs. This is to ensure that no harm is caused to the cubs. Mukesh Saini, divisional forest officer (DFO), RNP said, "This is good news for tiger population in RNP. Few days back we had received information that there were new cubs in the reserve but could not authenticate it. Few pugmarks were seen but it was not certain that they were of the new cubs." 21 Tiger Death Recorded in 2018, Number of Big Cats Died in Maharashtra Same As of 2017.

The Tigress T-73 is quite famous among the tourists visiting this National Park and she is known to be a shy animal. She resides in zone 5 of the park. The sightings of cubs are important because of the reducing numbers of wild cats. It gives hope to the conservationists who work hard to increase the population of the country's national animal.
