Panic Grips Chandigarh
Panic gripped Chandigarh after residents spotted a leopard in Sector 29, leading to immediate action from local authorities. The sighting, which occurred on March 12, 2026, raised concerns about safety in the area.
CCTV footage captured the presence of the leopard on the premises of a dargah, where it was seen drinking water and roaming freely. This unusual sighting prompted the deployment of PCR vehicles in the area as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of residents.
Officials from the Forest department quickly reached the spot to investigate the situation. However, they reported finding no traces of the animal, leaving many residents anxious about its whereabouts.
In a related note, a yellow alert was issued in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha region due to a severe heatwave that has been affecting daily life. Temperatures in Vidarbha soared past 40 degrees Celsius across several districts, with Jaisalmer recording 39 degrees Celsius.
The persistent spell of extreme heat has begun to affect daily life in Vidarbha, with residents avoiding stepping out during peak daytime hours. This extreme weather adds another layer of concern for the local population, already on edge due to the leopard sighting.
As the situation develops, observers are closely monitoring the area for any further signs of the leopard. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the animal’s current location and whether it poses any ongoing threat to the community.
