- Three roads were recently laid in the Theni district inside the Srivilliputhur–Meghamalai Tiger Reserve without forest clearance.
- These roads cut through Myladumparai Reserved Forest, violating the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.
- The constructions threaten critical tiger, elephant, and leopard habitats in this ecologically fragile corridor.
- At least 12 more road projects are reportedly planned within the reserve, raising serious conservation concerns.
- The Meghamalai Tiger Reserve is part of a corridor linking the Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala to the forests of Tamil Nadu.
