Panic gripped the densely populated twin including Nesbal and Madwan villages of north Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Sunday after two leopards were sighted.
Locals told the Local news agency, Kashmir News Service (KNS), that the appearance of the leopards created panic in the areas and people tried to chase them out of the area
Rather Mehraj Sarpanch Nasbal told Kashmir News Service (KNS), that wild animals are roaming in the villages for many last days and have caused damage to livestock but the wildlife department fails to act so far.
“Our children feel unsafe, even we can’t go our orchards, we once requested wild life department to catch the wild animals so we feel a sigh of relief,” he said.
Meanwhile, an official said that the teams of the wildlife department were deputed to these areas earlier in the day to locate the animal and catch it before it caused any casualties (KNS).
