Ranthambore missing tigers
Ranthambore missing tigers are now 13. Heavy rains have closed routes, disrupted patrols, and left officials struggling to explain why so many animals vanish while tourists still roll in.
A 2024 report admitted 25 tigers went missing in a year — 11 from Ranthambore, two from Sariska. Twelve were later traced. But the rest, including Ranthambore’s T-92, T-20, T-70, T-71, T-76, and Sariska’s ST-13, remain unaccounted for. Some officials blame age, others migration, others weather. What they do not blame is their own failure to protect or to investigate.
Monsoon makes tracking harder, but missing tigers are not new. Forest corridors remain neglected, patrols underfunded, and accountability absent. Our feature on Political Failure shows why committees delay, excuses multiply, and tigers disappear.
Meanwhile, a safari jeep broke down in Zone 6, leaving 20 tourists stranded. The guides walked off. Tigers vanish. Tourists abandoned. This is not management — it is negligence.
