Underpasses and Tunnels as Wildlife crossings or Corridors to mitigate Road and Rail accidents for Nauradehi forests

Wildlife crossings are structures that allow animals to cross human-made barriers safely. Wildlife crossings may include: underpass tunnels, viaducts, Ecoducts and overpasses (mainly for large or herd-type animals); amphibian tunnels; fish ladders; Canopy bridge (especially for monkeys and squirrels), tunnels and culverts (for small mammals such as otters, hedgehogs, and badgers); green roofs (for butterflies and birds); Wildlife crossing signs.

Wildlife crossings are a practice in habitat conservation, allowing connections or reconnections between habitats, combating habitat fragmentation. They also assist in avoiding collisions between vehicles and animals, which in addition to killing or injuring wildlife may cause injury to humans and property damage.


A new Technology and Strategic way of saving and Conserving wildlife from dangers. Congress  is great to construct these FIRST in the country by spending crores of money. There is Canopy Bridge in Anamalai Tiger Reserve to save endangered lion-tailed macaques used to get killed while crossing the highway at Puduthotam in Valparai, South India. Salute to congress government.

This is one of the most Effective and Expensive wildlife conservation management.

About underpass of Bhopal-Jablapur four-lane Highway Road, the plan is to construct Underpasses for every kilometer distance by NHA (National Highway Authority) in Nauradehi as per the guidelines and directives.

The height of Underpass should be 5m and width should be 50m according to DPR and authority which will provide safe way to wildlife and ensure connectivity. DFO started objecting as there is a mistake according to plan coz there is only 3.5m height and 30m width for construction basis. So, this has been informed to National Board of Wildlife (NBWL) and NTCA (National Tiger Conservation Authority).

District Forest Officer has written a letter to both the organizations attached to the issue and gave all the details of the matter and has expressed its objection to the construction. The District Forest Officer has said in the letter that due to non-production of underpass based the fixed standard, wild animals will only be partially secure to cross these underpasses.

Underpass should be made with new guidelines
The Ministry of Environment and Forests has recently issued instructions directing the construction of roads, railways, high capacity load tanks and underpasses in the forest area according to the new guidelines. There should not be any interference in the movement of wildlife. For this, the Ministry of Environment has superseded its old guidelines.

The place where the four-lane is in the Dongar village zone of Nauradehi Sanctuary, the authorities of the sanctuary have done surveys of wild animals living in that area. There are good number of macaque monkeys, hanuman langurs, jackals, peafowls, striped hyenas, wild hare, chital deer, Asian Palm civet, wild boar, Jungle cat, sambar deer, wolf and sloth bear.

The Rahali-Tendukhera-Patan road passing through the Nauradehi Sanctuary, there has been a disturbance in the construction of the indicator panel in the sanctuary border. Money has been saved in this road constructed by the MP Road Corporation Corporation (MPRDC) at a cost of Rs. 221 crores. 22 km road has been constructed in the border of Nauradehi. It has made roads in 18 km forest area and 4 km revenue area.

In the forest area, the construction agency had to put 258 indicator panels, but only 25 panels were installed. These included the speed limit, crossing the animal and the sound expander... all of these 8 6 -8 6 indicator panels were used. The construction will be approved only according to the guidelines.
