A leopard has been sighted in the forested area behind Durga Devi temple in the Dehuroad-Ravet-Mhaskewasti belt of Pimpri-Chinchwad, Maharashtra, causing alarm among local residents. The Forest Department, along with the Fire Brigade, launched a search operation late Tuesday night to track the animal and ensure public safety. Om Prakash Bahiwal, chief of the Disaster Management Cell at the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), confirmed that the leopard was spotted moving through the dense forest but has not been captured yet due to its changing locations. Authorities have advised residents to take precautions, although the leopard has not attacked any humans. The Forest Department is considering deploying cameras to monitor the animal's movements. This incident is not unique, as a similar event occurred in February 2025 when a leopard entered the Nigdi Pradhikaran neighborhood, causing panic among residents before it was safely tranquilized and transported for evaluation.
