Pune, Nov 6 (UNI) In view of the rising leopard attacks and growing fear among residents in Ambegaon, Shirur, and Junnar talukas of Pune district, District Collector Jitendra Dudi announced a series of urgent measures to tackle the situation on Thursday.
The administration has decided that captured leopards will not be released back into the wild but will instead be permanently relocated to safer areas.
During his visit to Pimparkhed and Jambud villages in Shirur taluka, Dudi assessed the situation and interacted with local villagers. He stated that controlling the increasing leopard population in the region has become a top priority. According to the district administration, there are now around 2,000 leopards across these three talukas, compared to only about 250 in 2017. At least 1,500 leopards will need to be relocated to bring the population under control and reduce conflicts with humans.
