Dibrugarh: Two individuals suffered severe injuries after a leopard attacked them in the Chandra Nagar area of Kuhiyabari, Dibrugarh, Assam, on Friday night. The incident took place while the victims were tending to their cattle in a shed.
The leopard’s attack instilled panic among local residents, who armed themselves with sticks and machetes and took to the streets in fear.
Forest personnel quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation and reassure the frightened community. Authorities stated that efforts are currently underway to capture the wild animal, utilizing traps and firecrackers to deter the leopard and guide it back to its natural habitat.
The injured individuals were promptly transported to a nearby hospital for necessary medical treatment.
A local resident expressed concern, stating, “Leopards are coming out of the forest in search of food. They are venturing into human habitation, primarily taking domestic animals.
