Tiger at campus gate: NLIU seeks ‘permanent security'
Bhopal: A day after a tiger was sighted on its campus, the National Law Institute University (NLIU) management has sought permanent security arrangements from the forest department. After three years, a tiger has once again been spotted around an educational institution in the capital. Notably, two tigers had kept Bhopal-based Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) on tenterhooks for nearly two weeks in 2022. NLIU has written a letter to the forest department stating that permanent security is needed to protect the campus. "We have no idea how the tiger attacks. After its sighting, we have sought permanent security for the campus," says registrar Vivek Bakshi. Bakshi has urged students to remain vigilant. "Students have been told that if they see a tiger around the campus, they should immediately seek help from a teacher or any other staff," he added. In 2022, MANIT faced sustained tiger activity, with two separate tigers roaming its 650-acre campus for nearly two weeks. The first tiger, identified as T-123-4 (offspring of tigress 123), entered the campus on October 3-2022, killed livestock, and exited a few days later, moving to the Kerwa area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tan Tao A: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo The second tiger, T-21-421, was recorded as weighing 230kg and measuring six feet in length (excluding the tail). This tiger was trapped in a bait cage on October 15-2022, then tranquilised and released into the Satpura Tiger Reserve. The repeated tiger presence led MANIT to announce an immediate midterm break for undergraduate students, enhance campus patrolling with forest department staff, install trap cameras, and begin repairing boundary gaps to prevent further incursions in 2022. Experts said that Bhopal's location near the Ratapani Tiger Reserve means it sits at the intersection of critical tiger corridors. These wildlife pathways, connecting the Ratapani forests via the Kerwa-Ratapani corridor, allow the movement of tigers from the sanctuary into the city's green zones and outskirts. The recently designated Ratapani Tiger Reserve, covering over 1,200km2 and located just 40–50km from Bhopal, is home to about 40 tigers, with an additional dozen regularly venturing near the city. These corridors support both scheduled and unscheduled movements of big cats, especially as the tiger population grows and habitat pressures mount. Despite periodic movement of big cats into populated areas, Bhopal stands out for its model of relative coexistence. Tigers have adapted movement patterns to avoid direct conflicts, and AI monitoring along with community awareness programmes helps ensure safety. Still, experts warn of a delicate balance: overcrowding, declining food sources, and habitat encroachment all heighten risk for both humans and tigers. Experts say that these sightings reflect a persistent presence of tigers in forest corridors and urban fringes surrounding Bhopal, particularly near areas like Kaliyasot, Kerwa, and educational campuses within the city. Increased human activity and habitat fragmentation contribute to these encounters, making active monitoring and precautionary measures by forest authorities crucial for both human and animal safety.
