Nashik: Residents in the Jai Bhawani Road area, in the area of ​​Jalan Nashik, for surprises on Monday morning.
For almost six and a half hours, the leopard who has lost to the densely populated area continues to run from one place to another – even hurt senior citizens – before hiding under a parked car in the bungalow complex.
Leopard was finally calmed and saved from under the car by the Forestry Department personnel around 2pm.
Extensive agricultural parts spread around the city, including the road area of ​​Nashik, and human habitat getting closer and closer to forest areas has caused an increase in the number of wild cat cases that deviate into the city.
Pankaj Garg, West Nashik Forest Conservator Deputy, said, “Macanard often moves along the boundaries of forest and human habitat.
They usually come to human habitats to capture prey and quickly return to the forest.
Conflicts occur when each leopard cannot find Road again.
“That was what happened at Sadguru Nagar, along Jai Bhavani Road, who had a large army area.
A group of morning pedestrians from Sadguru Nagar first saw the leopard around 7:30 a.m.
They raised the alarm and chaos happened.
When people shouted and shouted, confused animals also kept running from one place to another trying to find a way out.
“We got a call about the leopard who was seen at 9 o’clock in the morning.
We needed more than five hours to save the leopard.
But the operation was successful.
With the exception of one person, no one suffered an injury.
The three-year-old male leopard was appeased and then shifted To the Nursery of the Forestry Department in Gangapur, where it is stored in observations.
Leopard is fine and will soon be released in the forest area, “Garg a heavy bandobiacast must be managed by police who are hard to control the crowd.
Rescue operations get more than 2 noon.
Lakshika Sharma, the resident of the area, said he knew about the leopard at 8 am when his domestic assistance did not appear to work, and instead called to say there was a leopard in prey.
Sharma said people darted their gates to prevent animals from entering their homes.
Archana sonar, another resident, said he was on his bungalow terrace and shouted at his elderly neighbor to enter his house.
“In a few seconds, the leopard jumps from a corner of the bungalow and runs to the other side.” Neighbors, 75-year-old Sudhir Kshatriya, who were outside the compound gate fell when the leopard jumped over him.
“I suffered an injury from his claws in my stomach and hand.
Before I could understand anything, the animal was gone,” Kshatriya said.
This happened around 11:30 a.m.
Garg said, “Nashik has good forest cover and sugar cane fields around it.
At present, the leopard breeding season lights up, and some leopardized childbirth in sugar cane fields.
At the same time, encroachment to the forest area also took place.
This creates a conflict situation.
“Last year, there was one death caused by leopard in the suburbs of Nashik.
