Leopard predation in Himachal Pradesh

Overview

In the Nasloh area near Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, a leopard caused significant distress to residents and livestock owners starting in July. The predator reportedly killed approximately 70 sheep over a two-month period, resulting in economic losses for local villagers.

The animal's presence in areas including Nasloh, Rao, Chauki Bhaled, Dhanog, and Tung created a climate of fear, making it difficult for residents to leave their homes at night. Following community demands, the Forest Department deployed a cage to trap the animal. The leopard has since been captured, providing relief to the local population.
