India is tightening rules in tiger reserves to limit tourist behaviour and protect wildlife. A 2025 order by the Supreme Court of India restricts mobile phone use in core safari zones. Visitors must keep phones away or on silent. The move follows rising cases of “safari jams” and unsafe actions near animals in parks like Ranthambore National Park. Experts say phones increase crowding and risky behaviour. “People have got reckless in getting photos,” said journalist Charukesi Ramadurai. Officials say the focus is now on conservation, even if sightings become less frequent. (PC: BBC)
