Rajaji Tiger Reserve has been placed on red alert ahead of Diwali. The park administration has intensified checking at all check posts and barriers. Special vigilance is being enforced at the Barrage, Chilla and Ganga Bhogpur barriers. Every vehicle passing through these points will be thoroughly inspected. Teams have been instructed to monitor suspicious activities closely.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The red alert puts the park administration on a war footing during a period of high movement and possible illegal activity. Residents near the reserve and visitors planning to travel through these barriers during Diwali will face intensified vehicle checks, potentially causing delays. The order leaves no room for relaxation until the festival period ends, with ground teams under strict monitoring orders.
