There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future.

Proposed Delhi-Mumbai Expressway threaten Ranthambore-Mukundara corridor

Union minister Nitin Gadkari’s ambitious 1,250km Delhi-Mumbai Expressway project is likely to disturb the tiger habitat in Rajasthan. Implementation of the project in the state would cut through the tiger corridor between Ranthambore (between Ramgarh Vishdhari Sanctuary in Sawai Madhpour district Jawahar Sagar Sanctuary in Bundi district) and Mukundara-Hills Tiger Reserve.

National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is mulling over constructing the Expressway on 36 hectares of forest land in the Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve (MHTR). Though a formal proposal is yet to be submitted to the state FD, as per initial discussions, in NHAI's suggested alignment it passes through Jhamra region in the 200sq.km Darrah range at MHTR where most of the wildlife population is found.

The six-lane highway, intended to trim the road-distance to Mumbai by 10 hours, will be signal free & commuters can run vehicles at a speed of 120 km per hour!

Forest department source said, “During a recent meeting, NHAI proposed to construct a viaduct inside MHTR. After the proposal was turned down by the forest department, the authority proposed to construct a tunnel inside the forest area. However, any construction inside the forest would impact wildlife. The forest department has urged the agency to opt for an alternative alignment.”

With tigers facing space crunch in Ranthambore, need for keeping corridors undisturbed to facilitate free movement towards MHTR is crucial.
