The cubs are around four months' old and healthy, he said.
In the first week of May, another tigress P-234 (23) -- the daughter of P-234 -- was spotted with two cubs, the official said.
"So, the birth of four cubs has been reported from the PTR this month," he said.
According to the last census, the tiger count in PTR was 78, the official said.
