10% Big Cats In Affected Zone To Be Tranquilised For Sampling

MP’s Big Cat Toll Rises To 34 This Yr

Following the devastating collapse of a platform on the Coastal Road phase 2 project, which led to the death of two workers, a hefty Rs 3 crore fine is set to be imposed on the contractor. A probe by VJTI pointed to faulty bolts and serious safety violations as the primary culprits.

The state has lost 32 tigers in the first five months of 2026. Poaching is under control, but electrified fencing outside core areas has emerged as a major threat to the big cat. Adding to worries is the canine distemper virus that killed a tigress and 4 cubs in kanha

A tigress and her last cub have died at kanha Tiger Reserve, bringing the state's tiger death toll to 30 this year. Officials suspect canine distemper virus (CDV) as the cause, potentially spread from domestic dogs. A large-scale sanitization and vaccination operation is underway to prevent further transmission.
