Wildlife Panel Approves 200‑Ha Rail Project in Madhya Pradesh Tiger Corridor

A wildlife panel has given its nod to a rail project that will occupy 200 hectares of land inside a tiger corridor in Madhya Pradesh. The decision follows a review of environmental impact assessments and consultations with conservation experts. The corridor, part of the state’s tiger conservation strategy, is a critical habitat for the endangered species. The approval is seen as an attempt to balance the need for improved connectivity with the imperative to protect wildlife. The project is expected to enhance regional transport while incorporating measures to mitigate ecological disruption.
