In Karmala taluka, three persons were attacked and killed in six days at Fundewadi, Anjandoh and Chikhalthan in a row.
Farmers do not go out to do farm work. There is an atmosphere of great fear among the villagers the attacks continue. NCP MLA Rohit Pawar, who went to relieve himself, took part in the search operation with forest officials for some time.
The leopard escaped from Chikhalthan and was searched by the Paulkhuna Forest Department on Wednesday. But no movement of the leopard was observed.
After the Forest Department got the information from Narsobawadi, the footprints of the leopard were seen in Sangvi No. 3 Narsobawadi Shivara and the movements of the leopard were recorded by the drone camera. Moreover, the search was carried out with the help of Dog squad.
Cages have been set up in the area to detect leopard footprints, but no leopards have been spotted. A leopard caught at Undargaon in Karmala taluka in 2018 was attacking an animal.
The leopard is a man-eater, devoured by human blood and flesh. Two sharpshooters and technology were used to catch him alive or dead.
Being monitored through the camera. The patrol has been increased and cages have been set up, informed Deputy Forest Conservator Dhairyashil Patil. What is special is that MLA Rohit Pawar also joined the search operation in the night in search of this leopard.
Sangvi village is adjacent to MLA Rohit Pawar's constituency, so Rohit went to the village with the youth and tried to find the leopard with a stick in his hand. Rohit also interacted with forest officials and sharpshooters, as well as reassuring the villagers
In my constituency and in the neighboring talukas, the forest department staff is working day and night to catch the leopard. In support of him, he visited Wangi Sangvi in Karmala taluka yesterday and interacted with the villagers.
