There has been no report of sighting any tiger in Buxa in the last two decades. The animals will probably be brought in from one of the northeast forests which now has surplus tiger population.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 30 November 2016.
As regards Buxa - the national tiger body in its technical committee meeting had reviewed the project proposal that had been submitted by the state and gave the go-ahead on a "priority" basis. They have asked the Bengal foresters to ensure that the reserve is conducive for tiger survival. This should include efforts like improving the habitat and prey base and, simultaneously, strengthening security measures.
