Playful Tiger Cub Steals the Show at Ranthambore, Catches Egret but Lets It Fly Free

Sawai Madhopur: Visitors to Ranthambore National Park were treated to a rare and heart-warming wildlife moment on Thursday evening, when a young tiger cub was seen playfully catching an egret and then releasing it unharmed—turning what looked like a hunt into a moment of sheer mischief.

In a sudden move, the cub pounced and gently grabbed the bird by its wings, holding it in its mouth.

Rohtak Road Connecting Delhi to Haryana Becomes Hazardous for Commuters

New Delhi: The tragic death of a software engineer in Noida’s Sector-150 has once again highlighted the poor condition of roads in the National Capital, particularly along stretches of New Rohtak Road.
