Sidhi (Madhya Pradesh): Wildlife lovers witnessed an unforgettable ‘Tigress walk’ on Sunday morning at the Sanjay Tiger Reserve in Kusmi area of Madhya Pradesh’s Sidhi district.
During the morning safari, tigress 'Bachaiya’, daughter of the famous super mom tigress T-28, appeared openly in front of tourists for the first time.
Tourists were left breathless as they watched her powerful walk and calm presence. This was the first time Bachaiya had come so close to safari vehicles.

Forest officer Rajesh Kanna T said that the tiger population in the reserve has grown significantly in recent years.
He added, "It is a positive sign that tigers are no longer scared of human presence and are being sighted more often. This is boosting wildlife tourism, and Sanjay Tiger Reserve is fast becoming a major destination for tiger sightings."
Local guides and forest staff believe that Bachaiya’s calm appearance will create more exciting opportunities for tourists to spot tigers in the future.
