Nanded, Dec. 3 -- A leopard that injured two people in the Kushnoor Industrial Estate has caused significant alarm across the Naigaon area of Nanded district.
Following the attacks, the Forest Department launched a large-scale operation to capture the animal, installing trap cameras, placing cages and maintaining night-long surveillance, an official said on Wednesday.
Despite these efforts, the leopard managed to evade all traps and escape from the industrial zone.
Forest officials now believe the animal may have moved toward the Sawarkhed-Barbada region, prompting heightened concern among nearby rural communities, particularly farmers working in open fields.
Search operations by forest teams are continuing across the suspected movement...
