BHUBANESWAR: The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has called for strong measures against poaching to prevent the big cat population from getting wiped out in Odisha.Though India has experienced a growth of 6.1 per cent in its tiger population with the most notable increase observed in Central India and the Shivalik hills and Gangetic plains, the survival of the apex predator in Odisha continues to remain an area of concern, underlined NTCA in its ‘Status of Tiger Report 2022’.
