Nagar Kurnool Forest Range Officer, Farvez Ahmed, responded to reports of leopards in Bijinapalli mandal in Nagar Kurnool district. He advised people in Gangaram and Bhimuni Thanda to be cautious when entering the forest to avoid scaring the animals. It’s recommended not to go alone and to keep livestock secure at night.
Ahmed mentioned that they are on alert due to the information about leopard sightings. As it’s summer, wild animals are seeking water sources and may move closer to settlements. So far, there have been no reports of leopards entering populated areas. He emphasized the importance of not harming the wildlife and urged people not to venture into the forest alone.
If anyone spots a cheetah or notices any unusual animal movement, they are encouraged to inform the authorities promptly.
