A forest department probe into a tiger's death on the Budhni-Midghat railway section found the railways allegedly ignored previous recommendations from the National Tiger Conservation Authority. Lapses cited include uncleared waste and shrubs along tracks, and unconstructed underpasses. The report also noted trains continue to exceed recommended speeds in identified areas, despite past incidents of wildlife fatalities. The railways will be informed and asked to adhere to guidelines.
