Briefly translated from Gujarati

Two cubs of about one year age are missing from their pride since last three days. A forest guard team of about 20 lead by RFO Mulani are working hard to trace the missing cubs.

A pride in this area consisted of 2 adult males, 2 females and these 2 cubs. Adult males often left the pride and rejoined again. But since last three days two lioness are sighted alone with cubs missing from the pride. Normally mother lioness do not leave the cubs alone. No bones-carcass have been found in other neither their remains are found in other big cat's skate. So a rumor has spreaded that somebody may have picked up these cubs alive. Or are poachers active again?
