The Wildlife Department intervened to rescue a female leopard after it entered the village of Ramnagar in Jammu and Kashmir, injuring two individuals.
The incident caused alarm in Peri village, located in the Ramnagar tehsil in Udhampur district, following an attack by a leopard on two senior citizens working in their fields.

“On Monday around 12-1 pm, we received information that a leopard had attacked two people in Ramnagar. Our team reached the spot and rescued a leopard,” Block Officer reported to ANI on the same day.

The captured leopard, estimated to be four years old, was taken to the Veterinary Centre in Kallar Udhampur to receive initial treatment, including necessary antidotes. Subsequently, the plan was to move her to the Manda Jammu Veterinary Centre for continued care until she could be revived.
