What came as incredibly sad news on World Animal Day, which is celebrated on the 4th of October every year, Palash, the Royal Bengal Tiger, passed away at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNV) medical centre of renal failure. Palash was suffering from renal issues which developed into septicaemia a week ago and the health condition turned critical. He stopped eating and was on saline and glucose supplements. An official press release from the medical centre at SGNV said "He had stopped eating for the last week. He was on saline and oral glucose supplementation. A blood test showed his serum creatinine value had shot up 37 md/dl while his Blood Urea Nitrogen value had risen to 221.6 mg/dl."
Palash was 13 years old and had been brought to SGNP from Vanvihar National Park in Bhopal at the age of 3 years. Palash has fathered 2 male tigers Anand and Yash, and a tigress Lakshmi, with his mate Basanti. The entire family is a part of the Tiger Safari at SGNP.
