The court has asked officials to consider banning vehicle movements at nights
With the death of 152 wild animals, including three leopards, due to road accidents on the Coimbatore–Bengaluru National Highway 958 that passes through Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR), the Madras High Court has asked officials concerned to explore the possibility of banning vehicle movements between Bannari and Dhimbam at nights..
Hearing a batch of writ petitions on January 25, the bench comprising Justice V. Bharathidasan and Justice N. Sathish Kumar, said that precious lives of wild animals were lost between 2012 and 2021 due to high vehicular movements and the drivers of those vehicles were not adhering to speed limits.
