The tidal interactions between galaxies are believed to be the main mechanism responsible for Wolf-Rayet (WR) phases in galaxies. The HI 21 cm-line is the best tracer for detecting tidal features in galaxies. We are studying WR galaxies in the HI line using GMRT and in the Hα line using Devasthal Optical telescope. Signatures of tidal interactions in Mrk 996 and Mrk 005, previously believed to be in non-interacting environment, have been detected using both HI and Hα images.
