Tigers in reserve come under threat
N. Rahul
HYDERABAD: Serious concerns have been raised about the safety of tigers in the Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve after they were virtually flushed out of their natural habitat and spotted at least eight times in recent months.
The big cat’s safety in the reserve, the largest of its kind in the country with an area of 3,568 sq. km, is being compromised by the ongoing excavation for an underground irrigation tunnel for the Srisailam project that will pass through the sanctuary’s core area. A 135-metre-long Tunnel Boring Machine has already created a 400-metre-long cave.
True to the forest authorities’ fears that the underground vibrations caused by the machine would disturb the wildlife, tigers have strayed onto the adjoining Hyderabad-Srisailam highway and other roads.
