ANSWER: Bandhavgarh, Pench and Kanha
Tiger Safari will be launched in 3 reserves in MP for promoting tourism namely Bandhavgarh, Pench and Kanha. Safaris will operate in buffer area, reducing pressure from the core. MP Eco Tourism Board will come out with a tender for the same. MP has six tiger reserves and 308 big cats as per government’s 2014 report on tiger population. The six reserves are Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Panna, Bori-Satpura, Sanjay-Dubri and Pench. Activists claim NTCA had ordered deferment of government proposal to create tiger safari in Pench.
