A tiger was captured on video crossing a construction stretch of the Sehore‑Shahganj highway, prompting the forest department to issue a warning to locals.
A video that quickly went viral shows a tiger walking along a partially built section of the highway linking Shahganj and Sehore in Madhya Pradesh. The footage, recorded by a passerby, captures the large cat moving parallel to construction traffic before disappearing into nearby scrubland.
Residents of villages such as Benda, Bandrabhan and Ramnagar have reported frequent tiger movements in the past few days, heightening anxiety among locals who use the road for daily commute and transport of goods.
The Madhya Pradesh Forest Department responded by issuing an advisory, urging people to avoid the stretch after dusk, keep vehicles stationary when a tiger is sighted, and immediately inform forest officials through the dedicated helpline.
Authorities are also deploying forest‑range staff to monitor the area, set up temporary signage, and explore relocation options if the animal continues to frequent the highway corridor.
