{{/usCountry}}Indian Forest Service officer Suriender Mehra in the comments section posted, "Yes. Tiger presence is quite likely in these forests, which are adjoining to higher-density wildlife areas. Modern tools like camera traps are ascertaining the same. Need holistic management inputs to protect the wilderness of such forest." Another person added, "Tiger visits Himachal for the first time ever. Probably the good work done by #forest departments in neighbouring states is pushing the tigers to unknown frontiers. Exciting times." "A historic first for our state. Proud to be part of this heritage," wrote a third.
