My father when he was SDO, Electrical in one of the poorest and backward districts of India, during his younger days used to go to the jungles to clear the faults so that he could save his skin from the marauding public which only likes uninterrupted supply of electricity no matter how it may restored, used to see tigers crossing the road once in ten expeditions. Even I managed to see those illusive beings once travelling in a truck with him, in one such expeditions. But now i never heard of such stories from any of his junior colleagues, who worked there after him. tigers need protection.
