Late at night in the Amreli district of Gujarat, a sight occurred that forced vehicles to stop on the highway. Near the village of Ambardi on the Savarkundla-Rajula expressway, a lioness with two cubs appeared. The lioness and both cubs were hunting livestock near the roadside, after which they remained stationary.
This incident took place in the Amreli district of Gujarat, on the Savarkundla-Rajula expressway, near the village of Ambardi. The lioness spotted livestock grazing by the road, attacked it, and then the lioness and cubs remained motionless.
People driving past on the highway found themselves in a difficult situation. Cars stopped, and drivers began observing from a distance. Some tried to resolve the issue by honking or attempting to scare away the animals, but there were no stray animals nearby that could be driven off with sound.
Since a lioness and her cubs were in front of them, people decided to maintain distance. Soon, traffic on the highway came to a complete halt, forming a traffic jam. People remained in their cars, watching the entire scene from afar, while some started filming the event on mobile phones.
Ultimately, this incident was reported to the forest department. Forest department staff arrived at the scene and carefully handled the situation under the direction of officials. The prey was moved from the roadside to restore traffic flow on the highway.
RFO Bharat Chandu from the forest department reported that the lioness with two cubs had arrived in the area. The lioness hunted an animal. The forest department team arrived at the scene, moved the prey off the road, after which traffic resumed. Forest department staff remained on site around the clock, ensuring the safety of the lioness and her cubs and monitoring the area.
Video of this situation is currently circulating on social media. The presence of lions in the Amreli and Gir areas is not new, as lions have previously been frequently sighted here.
