A video recently shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda shows a tiger crossing the road on a beautiful rainy morning. Sharing the video on his Twitter handle, IFS officer Nanda termed it as a ‘Magical Monsoon’.
In the now-viral clip, the tiger can be seen slowly crossing a tarred road and walking into a jungle. This video clearly shows the need to expedite the construction of mitigation structure for wild animals.
“Magical Monsoons. It can only happen in India,” Nanda captioned the video. The forest officer also gave credit to wildlife biologist and conservationist Milind Pariwakam for the video.

The sighting of this tiger crossing the road on a rainy day was captured by biologist Pariwakam. He shared this post on his official Twitter page with a note mentioning that a road with no mitigation has been illegally expanded due to negligence on the part of forest authorities. He further cited that mitigation is not done despite National Green Tribunal (NGT) orders. The biologist ended his post with a hashtag and wrote ‘business as usual’.
