It is a matter of pride that three-fourths of the world's tiger population feels healthy and at home in India, Union minister Babul Supriyo said on Tuesday.
The minister of state for environment was speaking at a function at the Indira Paryavaran here to conclude the Global Tiger Day celebrations.
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's analogy that the story of protecting tigers started with "Ek Tha Tiger" (once there was a tiger) and reached "Tiger Zinda Hai" (the tiger is alive) and that it should not end there, Supriyo said, "I am very proud to say that 3,000 zinda hai (3,000 tigers are alive in India)."
