- The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has warned that construction of the Morand-Ganjal Irrigation Project in Madhya Pradesh could submerge the forested areas used by tigers.
- The project involves the building of two dams on the Morand and Ganjal rivers to improve irrigation in Hoshangabad, Betul, Harda, and Khandwa districts of the state.
- The construction of the dams and related infrastructure will also displace 644 families, including 604 tribal families, who rely on the forest for their livelihood.
- Over seven lakh trees will be affected at full reservoir level, with 5.75 lakh trees marked for felling.
