Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma released the report online to mark the Global Tiger Day on Tuesday (July 29, 2025).
The report said 148 tigers were recorded across the 1,307.49 sq. km KTR in 2024. The “remarkable” increase in the tiger population from the estimation of 2022 was attributed to the first-ever sampling of the KTR’s Biswanath Wildlife Division, where 27 tigers were recorded.
