Leopards Rescued and Captured After Entering Villages in Kathua and Madhya Pradesh

In two separate incidents, leopards caused concern in rural areas of Kathua district, Jammu and Kashmir, and Aalirajpur district, Madhya Pradesh. In Kathua, wildlife officials rescued an injured leopard trapped inside a villager's shed after a challenging operation, with plans to transfer it to Manda Zoo. In Aalirajpur, a leopard that had instilled fear across five villages for nearly 20 days was successfully captured in a cage and is set to be released into a dense forest. Residents in both regions expressed relief but also concern over increasing wildlife encounters near human settlements.
