Tiger Killed on Railway Tracks Near Jamtha in Nagpur

A sub-adult male tiger killed on railway lines in Nagpur, possibly after being hit by a train, officials said on Wednesday, February 18.

The big cat was one and a half years old, and its carcass was spotted in the Jamtha area near the Vidarbha Cricket



Association stadium on Tuesday night.

Honorary Wildlife Warden (Nagpur) Ajinkya Bhatkar called the incident deeply concerning. The increasing deaths of tigers and the rising incidents of human-wildlife conflicts in Nagpur demand immediate and serious planning, he said.
