Late Tuesday night, a tiger jumped over a wall and entered residential houses in the upscale Asavari Dungri colony of Dausa, Rajasthan, causing panic before it ran towards Nilkanth Hill.
A ferocious tiger was reported to have scaled a boundary wall in the affluent Asavari Dungri neighbourhood of Dausa, Rajasthan, late on Tuesday night. The animal entered several adjoining houses while residents were asleep, startling occupants and triggering widespread alarm across the colony.
Witnesses said the tiger moved swiftly through the narrow lanes, prompting residents to raise loud shouts and create a commotion in an attempt to deter it. The sudden intrusion disrupted the normally quiet residential area and forced families to evacuate their homes in fear.
After a brief period of chaos, the tiger was seen retreating towards the nearby Nilkanth Hill, a forested rise that borders the city. Local authorities were alerted and wildlife officials have been dispatched to track the animal and ensure public safety.
The incident underscores the shrinking buffer between urban settlements and forest habitats in the region, raising concerns about wildlife‑human conflict as development expands into traditional tiger corridors.
