Read Time:57 Second
Dibrugarh: The forest department on Sunday captured two leopards while another knocked to death reportedly by a speeding vehicle in eastern Assam’s Dibrugarh district.
Officials in the forest department said that a full grown leopard was found dead on the NH – 37 near Dikom in the wee hours on Sunday.
The animal might have tried to cross over the highway when it was probably hit by a speeding vehicle due to which it died, an official said.
On the other hand, a leopard each was captured at Maijan and Singlijan tea estate on Sunday.
The forest department personnel had set up cages in these gardens after complaints were received about leopards creating terror in these gardens and its adjoining areas.
“Man-animal conflict has been rising in Assam due to shrinking of forest covers. The problem should be addressed at the earliest. In village areas leopards were spotted many a times. They are moving towards human-settlement in search of food. As a result the conflict arise,” said an environmentalist.
