Elusive Leopard Roams Golconda: Authorities On Alert

On the city outskirts near the historic Golconda Fort, a leopard has been intermittently sighted, causing concern among authorities and residents alike. Police confirmed a sighting early Monday morning. A local reported seeing the animal moving toward the Musi river, an area known for its sparse population.

CCTV footage corroborates the presence of the leopard, which has been seen multiple times over the past month, according to a forest department official. This ongoing presence has led to heightened vigilance as authorities work to manage the situation safely.

Vast tracts of government-owned land make the area an attractive but risky territory for the leopard. Authorities have set traps in a bid to capture the animal and relocate it, ensuring public safety remains a top priority.
