While wildlife enthusiasts celebrated the journey of the big cat that trekked from Ahmednagar, locals want it to be trapped now
The leopard had also swum across the Ulhas river
Two days after the forest department expressed its delight over a radio-collared leopard walking all the way from Ahmednagar district to Ulhasnagar, the locals’ worry over the animal making a green patch in the area its home seems to be turning into a matter of concern. Reason: the leopard has started preying on cattle. Locals from some of the nearby villages have passed a resolution requesting the forest department to capture the animal. In view of this, the department has formed a seven-member committee to decide on the further course of action.
