A late-night sighting of a wild animal, potentially a leopard, near a dargah in Sector 29 has activated forest and wildlife department officials to initiate a meticulous search operation. Captured by CCTV cameras, the animal's presence was confirmed shortly after the footage emerged, although clarity issues complicate verification.
Teams from the department, along with a police control room vehicle, visited the site on Wednesday night. The locality includes residential areas, markets, and open spaces, raising concerns among officials. However, the absence of clear traces of the animal has left the situation unresolved, demanding constant surveillance.
Despite the uncertainty, officials affirm that there is no immediate threat, urging the public to stay vigilant. Residents are encouraged to promptly report any wild animal movements, assisting in the effective monitoring and response efforts by the department.
