A video of traffic police personnel stopping traffic on a Maharashtra highway to let a tiger majestically walk across into the forest has come in for a lot of praise at time when motor accidents involving wildlife are on the rise.

The traffic police stop traffic on both sides of the highway running through a forest and ask the motorists to stay calm as a tiger emerges from one side and strolls across the highway to enter the forest on the other side.
The video shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan has been shot by some motorist present on the spot.
While Kaswan was not sure which part of Maharashtra the video originated from, those aware of the local area said on Twitter that the spot was on National Highway 353D between Brahmapuri and Nagbhir in Maharashtra.
