The 11-second video was shared by a Twitter user Milind Pariwakam. The clip shows officials halting motorists on both sides of the road and giving signs to keep calm. Further in the video, an adult tiger is seen emerging from behind the trees and gently coming out of the forest nearby to cross the road from a distance. It was followed by a cub as people wait at both ends of the road.

In another video, shared by Mr Pariwakam, a man can be heard urging others to remain calm and silent to let the big cat cross the road.

Along with the video, the caption reads, "Every day, tigers and other wildlife are endangered while crossing roads around Tadoba. When will NGT orders be implemented fully by @MahaForest @mahapwdofficial On the +ve side, kudos to the crowd management here, maybe by @MahaForest staff like last year?"
