A tiger was spotted on the Seijosa-Pakke Kessang stretch in Arunachal Pradesh, prompting authorities to advise motorists and commuters to stay away from the route.
A tiger was sighted on the Seijosa-Pakke Kessang road in Arunachal Pradesh, a stretch that connects the villages of Seijosa and Pakke Kessang. The animal was reportedly seen near the roadside, raising concerns among local residents and travelers.
In response, the Arunachal Pradesh Forest Department and local police issued a warning to motorists and commuters, urging them to avoid the road until the tiger is safely relocated. The advisory was disseminated through local media, radio, and social media channels.
The warning has disrupted daily travel for villagers who rely on this route for accessing markets, schools, and health facilities. Some commuters have turned to alternate paths, though traffic congestion is expected to increase on those routes.
Authorities have deployed wildlife officers to monitor the area and plan a safe removal of the tiger. They have also requested the public to report any further sightings and to stay alert for any signs of the animal.
The incident highlights the growing overlap between human settlements and wildlife habitats in Arunachal Pradesh, prompting calls for better coordination between forest authorities and local communities.
