Maharashtra, Jan. 9 -- Farmers are terrified due to the increased movement of a leopard in the Nandurshingote and Devgaon areas over the past few days. The sighting of the leopard during the daytime has affected agricultural work.

Farmers and residents have been spotting the leopard daily at various locations in the Nandgaon area, including Chas, Nalwadi, Kasarwadi, and Sonewadi in the Bhojapur Valley.
