Just 10-12 days ago, the forest department had caged a seven to eight-year-old female leopard at Panchak Shivar in the Jail Road area. However, a CCTV camera has now captured footage of another leopard hunting down a sleeping puppy on the road in Shankar Nagar.
The continued presence of leopards in the area has created an atmosphere of fear among the locals. In response, residents are urgently requesting that the forest department conduct a thorough inspection of the area and install a cage immediately to prevent further incidents.
