Tiger Crossing Highway Sparks Safety Concerns
A young male tiger was seen crossing a very busy road in the Amrabad Tiger Reserve.
This has made experts worried because the tiger might get hit by a fast-moving car.
The tiger crosses the road every few days to check its territory.
Forest officials are trying to make the road safer by adding more signs and checking for speeding cars.
They also close the road at night to help animals cross safely.
However, some cars still go too fast, and many animals have been hit by cars on this road.
A young male tiger was filmed crossing National Highway 765 in Amrabad Tiger Reserve.
Conservation experts are concerned about potential collisions between tigers and speeding vehicles.
Forest officials have increased patrolling and signage to alert drivers about tiger crossings.
The road is closed to traffic from 9 pm to 6 am to allow safe animal crossings.
Despite speed breakers and a 30 kmph limit, vehicles often exceed speeds, increasing roadkill risks.
