Anamalai Tiger Reserve struggles without a dedicated veterinarian

It needs to wait for the arrival of veterinarians from Coimbatore Forest Division or MTR for important veterinary interventions
The Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) is yet to get a dedicated veterinarian despite being a protected habitat of endangered species such as tiger, elephant, the Nilgiri tahr (also the State animal of Tamil Nadu), Lion-tailed Macaque and home to more than 20 camp elephants.
Sources in the Forest Department said that lack of a dedicated veterinarian was causing various difficulties as the ATR administration needs to wait for the arrival of veterinarians from Coimbatore Forest Division or the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) for important veterinary interventions.
The ATR administration is currently seeking the support of A. Sukumar, Forest Veterinary Officer of Coimbatore Forest Division, and veterinarian Rajesh Kumar of MTR for important veterinary interventions ranging from treatment of camp elephants to autopsy of animals like tiger. Assistance of local government veterinarians are sought for small works, they said.
