India had its first lockdown in 2020 due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. This instigated authorities to implement precautionary measures to safeguard public health. Individuals were asked to stay indoors and follow some proactive measures for their well-being. However, things got better over time, markets began to reopen and people resumed their normal routines.
Despite this, a recent advisory issued in specific areas of Rajasthan, urging to stay indoors has created a stir on social media. In Mangrol town, Dholpur, residents have been asked to remain indoors, not due to COVID-19, but because of a leopard sighting. The leopard has been seen in the area and has attacked two people already. They both suffered injuries and were rushed to the hospital for proper medical treatment.
The event unfolded late at night in the town. A woman kept the authorities posted about seeing a leopard. This is not the first time when such an indecent took place. A while back in Udaipur, an individual experienced the same concern highlighting to take necessary precautions to prevent such happenings.
Although the forest department is taking significant actions, authorities have advised residents to stay indoors until the situation is resolved. A woman has also been reported missing since morning. Concerned locals were the first to gather at the scene and notified the forest department.
Despite an extensive search operation, the search for a leopard is still underway. Authorities are actively looking for a sign and have asked residents to stay indoors as a precautionary measure. They released a statement asking people to step indoors until the leopard is caught.
Last year, two leopards were accidentally electrocuted in the forest area of Dholpur district in Rajasthan. The incident took place on a Sunday, near the Sone ka Gurja police station. It happened when electricity poles fell due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Unfortunately, the leopards died from electric shock caused by the live wires. Forest Ranger Amar Lal Meena has confirmed that following forensic examinations, the bodies of the leopards were laid to rest in the forest. The deceased leopards were identified as a male and a female aged between three-and-half to four years.
