STORY: Maitri Bagh Zoo authorities have kept the cubs in their enclosure, where they will stay with their mother until they are four months old.
The cubs are said to have been born to a tiger and a tigress brought from the Nandankanan Zoological Park in 1997.
India has about three-quarters of the world’s estimated tiger population in dozens of reserves established since the 1970s. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had released the tiger count which showed that the population has increased by 200 in four years to 3,167.
India was home to an estimated 40,000 tigers at the turn of the last century, but poaching and habitat loss pushed them to the brink of extinction.
