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.

Not only Tiger, There should be protection to each of the Species. Even I used to hear the similar things while treking in different parts of Sahyadri range & "Paschim Ghat". It's true I hardly hear anything Except Leopard entering frequently in & around of cities like Pune & Nashik .
