Panic Grips Chandigarh
Panic gripped Chandigarh after residents spotted a leopard in Sector 29, raising concerns about safety in the area. The sighting prompted immediate action from local authorities, including the deployment of PCR vehicles to ensure the security of the residents.
CCTV footage captured the leopard roaming the premises of a dargah, where it was seen drinking water. This unusual presence of wildlife in an urban setting has alarmed the community, leading many to stay indoors.
Officials from the Forest department quickly arrived at the scene to investigate the situation. However, they reported finding no traces of the animal, leaving residents anxious about the potential risks.
In a related note, a yellow alert was issued in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha region due to a severe heatwave, with temperatures soaring past 40 degrees Celsius across several districts. This extreme weather has already begun to affect daily life, prompting residents to avoid stepping out during peak daytime hours.
In Jaisalmer, temperatures reached 39 degrees Celsius, further highlighting the intensity of the heatwave affecting the region. The combination of extreme heat and wildlife sightings has created a tense atmosphere for residents in both Chandigarh and Vidarbha.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the leopard’s whereabouts after the initial sighting, and local authorities continue to monitor the situation closely. The community remains on alert as they await further updates from the Forest department.
