A tiger died after being hit and dragged by a train in Madhya Pradesh’s Ratapani Tiger Reserve while chasing prey. The incident on the Budhni–Midghat track marks the second tiger death in the area in a week and the fifth this year.
Forest officials reported that leopard pugmarks were found in the Ameenpur forest beat near the village. They urged locals to remain cautious and advised farmers not to enter agricultural fields before 10 a.m. and to leave by 4 p.m. They also recommended that cotton growers work in groups and wear face masks for added safety.
