Wildlife experts say the road widening has been planned right in the middle of a lush green forest near the Pench Tiger Reserve, in a region that's home to over 100 tigers. In just a 10 km stretch, over 2,000 trees will be cut in what is the only migration corridor for tigers in central India, connecting Pench to Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Nagzira, Navegaon and to the forests further south.
