"Woman attacked by Leopard"
A woman was injured in a leopard attack in Sikkim’s Namchi district on Sunday, forest officials said.
The incident took place in the forested Melli Dara area while the woman was collecting cattle fodder. Suddenly, a leopard attacked her, leaving her injured. Upon hearing her cries for help, local residents rushed to the spot and managed to rescue her while the leopard fled into the forest, officials stated.
The injured woman was immediately taken to STNM Hospital in Gangtok for medical treatment, they added.
Following the incident, forest officials have urged residents of the area to exercise caution while venturing into forested regions, especially during early morning and evening hours, as human-wildlife encounters are becoming more frequent. They also advised people to avoid going alone into dense forest areas to prevent such attacks in the future.
