Another tigress, ST-2302, has been sighted with her two cubs in Bala Kila, Andheri Chawd ki Hodi, Kishan Kund Nala, Jai Vilas and nearby forest stretches.Forest officials said tigresses become highly protective and aggressive while accompanying cubs, increasing the risk of human-wildlife conflict if people venture into the forest.Sariska field director Sangram Singh issued a public advisory urging residents, walkers and trekking enthusiasts not to enter the forest areas illegally. He warned that any violation of forest rules would invite strict action from the department.Officials added that movement in the identified zones could prove dangerous, particularly during early morning and evening hours when wildlife activity is higher.
