UP: Pilibhit Tiger Reserve seeks nod to appoint own veterinary officer, biologist, sociologist

The tiger reserves in Uttar Pradesh have to depend either on veterinary officers of zoos, non-government organisations like the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) or other units during an emergency as none of the tiger reserves and wildlife sanctuaries in the state has its own veterinary officer despite a directive by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA).
