The wildlife department must dispatch teams on ground zero to trap the man-eater at once
SRINAGAR, June 04: Apni Party Provincial Youth President Khalid Rathore on Friday expressed deep shock over the heart-wrenching incident of man-animal conflict, in which a leopard killed a minor girl in the central district of Budgam.
In a statement issued here, Rathore said that the wildlife department should have acted promptly as the locals had already pointed about a wanton leopard roaming in the area.
“The official apathy has led to such an incident due to which common people had to suffer in the end. Its highly unfortunate that a young child was killed in this incident,” he remarked.
He said that the district administration must direct wildlife officials to trap the man-eater leopard at an earliest in order to avoid any similar eventuality.
Rathore also demanded ex-gratia for the bereaved family who lost a dear daughter in this horrifying episode
