The environment ministry had commissioned the Wildlife Institute of India, a government research body, to assess the impact. The institutes report, sources said, would suggest allowing part of the tiger reserve to be diverted. The government is likely to propose alternative additional land for the 54,266-hectare reserve, now home to 24 tigers that had become locally extinct in 2009. The Rs 9,393-crore project involves 9,000 hectares, half of which is forest. If the project is cleared, 10 per cent of the tiger reserve will be taken away.business-standard/article/economy-policy/ken-betwa-river-link-to-hit-panna-tiger-reserve-114082300811_1.html
