This photo clicked by Sameer Rahate inside Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra, India, is catching people’s attention on facebook.

Mark the crowd that has converged at the same spot to enjoy the “tiger sighting”. This is one part of the story. There must be a similar crowd blocking the tiger’s path. This is obvious as the photo has been clicked from the other side.

The Supreme Court must take suo moto cognisance of this and get it examined by experts whether or not this kind of human pressure on a tiger reserve complies with the court directive in terms of the carrying capacity with regard to tourists.
