After that tourists will be able to visit in the next season.

Dr. AA Ansari, Deputy Director of Veerangana Durgavati Tiger Reserve, said that after the formation of the Tiger Reserve, continuous efforts are being made for better habitat for the tigers by rapidly relocating the villages in the reserve area. Under this, these tigers and tigresses were brought. They were released on the banks of river Vyarama near the displaced village Mahaka of Dongargaon range of Tiger Reserve under Narsinghpur district. Both the tigers and tigresses are fitted with radio collars, which are being constantly monitored. Among these tigers, the female tiger has been named N-4 and the male tiger has been named N-5. Deputy Director Ansari says that the Tiger Reserve has been notified along with Madhya Pradesh in September 2023. Its objective is to develop the habitat of tigers here.
