The Pench Tiger Reserve, spread over Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, is a crucial corridor in central India for the movement of tigers between the Pench and
Kanha reserves.
Understandably, the project to widen National Highway 7, which passes through the Pench reserve, into four lanes has become a bone of contention.
Work on the project is in full swing after the National Highways Authority of India approached the standing committee of the National Board for Wildlife (NBW) in August 2015 and secured the nod for widening 9 km of road, between Khawasa
and Rookhad in Madhya Pradesh.
