Experts probe into Satkosia tiger’s death
An expert team comprising members of the National Tiger Conservation Authority and the Wildlife Institute of India on Friday began a probe into a three-year-old tiger’s death at Satkosia reserve in Odisha’s Angul district, a Forest Department official said. The NTCA and the WII will carry out a “thorough investigation” to ascertain the cause behind the death of Royal Bengal Tiger ‘Mahavir’ at Satkosia, he said. “Both the organisations have taken Mahavir’s death very seriously. They will find out if the animal died of natural causes or there were other reasons,” the official said.Mahavir, translocated from Kanha National Park in M.P., was found dead in the core area of the Satkosia Tiger Reserve on Wednesday. Two of the six tigers — ‘Mahavir’ and ‘Sundari’ — were translocated to the sanctuary earlier this year. Earlier this month, ‘Sundari’ was tranquillised and shifted to an enclosure, after people alleged that it had mauled two persons to death.

(Photo: Twitter)Ahead of his first match as Spurs manager, against rivals West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday, Mourinho had even shot back the complaints from fans about his hypocrisy.In his first press conference as the manager of Spurs, he addressed the issues directly and that too in typical Moutinho fashion.”Four years ago when you were at Chelsea you were asked whether you would come to Spurs and you said: ‘Never, I love the Chelsea fans too much’. What’s changed?” Mourinho was asked by a reporter.Mourinho replied with a smirk on his face: “[That was] before I was sacked!”In his introductory video, which was released by Spurs, Mourinho also appeared to take a subtle dig at Chelsea and Manchester United.Mourinho said that he wants to bring through young players to the club, something he has been accused of not doing: “There is not one manager in the world that doesn’t like to play young players and to help young players to develop – not one.”The problem is that sometimes you get into clubs where the work that is below you is not good enough to produce these players.”So I look to our history and you see that the academy is always giving talents the first team need. Of course, I always look forward to working with that profile.” chelseajose mourinhokitManchester United First Published: November 23, 2019, 5:21 PM IST
