MP CM, Scindia to inaugurate Madhav National Park as 9th tiger reserve today. The event will be marked by the release of a majestic tiger and tigress into the park. One of the tigresses gave birth to two cubs nine months ago. With the addition of the two new tigers on Monday, the total tiger population in the reserve will rise to seven. The park also boasts George Castle locally known as Bankhade Kothi. It was built in 1911 by the ruler MadhavaoScindia for an overnight stay by King George Vth of the United Kingdom. It is in the vicinity of the shores of Sakhya Sagar Lake which has a boat club, from where the park visitors can see a number of migratory birds, especially in winter. The 13-km long stone safety wall that delineates the sanctuary, safeguarding both humans and tigers, was built by the then Maharaja called the Shooting Box. The reserve is home to five tigers, comprising two males and three females. It has 32,429 hectares of reserved forest, 2,422 hectares of protected forest, and 2,671 hectares of revenue area, totaling 37,523 hectares or 375 square km.
