Reliance Infocomm is installing 80,000 km of fiber in India. I wonder if they have any tiger stories.
Not unless they are installing fiber in one of very few national parks. Or maybe into a zoo or circus. Tigers have been hunted into near extinction in India, as have Lions. Leopards and panthers are rather more likely - there are some rather extensive forests just outside several large cities and towns, and these have been known to stray into town in search of garbage and meat markets. And elephants have been known to crash into breweries, get drunk and go around uprooting telephone poles in some parts of the country (like the thickly forested north east). srs
