The Ratapani wildlife sanctuary officially became the eighth tiger reserve of Madhya Pradesh on Friday, Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav inaugurated it by lighting a lamp and leading an environment and heritage conservation bike rally.
Located just about an hour’s distance by road from the state capital Bhopal, the Ratapani Tiger Reserve (RTR) is presently estimated to be home to nearly 100 tigers. It is spread across a huge area of 1272 square kilometres, spread across two districts of Raisen and Sehore. The RTR’s core zone is about 764 km and the buffer zone is 508 km.

The Chief Minister also took part in a heritage bike rally on the occasion. Spreading the message of responsibility and road safety, the CM wore a helmet while riding a bullet motorcycle, as he led the bike rally.
Madhya Pradesh already has seven tiger reserves, namely Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Panna, Pench, Satpura, Sanjay Dubri and Veerangana Rani Durgavati tiger reserve.
Forest officials expect that better conservation and management of wildlife and particularly tigers would be possible in the RTR due to the area being declared a tiger reserve. Officials hope that the tiger population in RTR will reach around 150 by 2026.

Dr. Yadav averred that opposition parties merely talk about Muslim welfare for their vote bank politics but have not done anything for the benefit of the minority community in so many years.
The encounter took place at around 10 AM in the jungles of Mundidadar and Ghaneridadar under the jurisdiction of the Bichiya police station.
The Chief Minister explained that the English name was a colonial legacy, and renaming the schools as Sandipani Vidyalaya would introduce an Indian perspective into the education system.
