Letter Published in The National UAE on 4Aug 19 Tigers are fighting back in India  I write to you in reference to the article India's tiger population jumps more than 30 per cent (July 30).It was good to read that there has been an increase in the population of the big cat, despite recent tigress deaths. I also found it interesting that Karnataka, where I live, missed out on being the state with the highest tiger population when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the population count. Madhya Pradesh, with 526 tigers, has two more than Karnataka, even though the latter has greater forest cover. Keep up the good work.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
