National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) is likely to hold a meeting at Delhi on Monday to discuss the issue of shooting T1 tigress, compliance of standard operative procedure, field conditions, various factors and other related aspects.
It will also go through the post mortem, forensic, ballistic test reports etc to be made available shortly. If confirmed about sufficient evidence about violation then NTCA, a regulatory body, can conduct enquiry into T1 tigress shooting case. It cannot remain unreasonably suspicious about the State version and hence it will collect solid evidence to enable it to order enquiry.
NTCA, Delhi and Nagpur offices, had instructed the Chief Wildlife Warden about SOP compliance time to time. Similarly, the Chief Conservator of Forest, Yavatmal, had also strictly told Nawab Shafath Ali Khan, the sharp shooter, to follow the guidelines.
