Panic Grips Chandigarh
Panic gripped Chandigarh after residents spotted a leopard in Sector 29, raising concerns about safety in the area. The sighting, which occurred on March 12, 2026, prompted immediate action from local authorities.
CCTV footage captured the presence of the leopard on the premises of a dargah, showing the animal drinking water and roaming freely. This alarming sighting led to 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 the potential threat.
In a related note, a yellow alert was issued in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha region due to a severe heatwave, with temperatures soaring past 40 degrees Celsius across several districts. This extreme heat has begun to affect daily life, prompting residents to avoid stepping out during peak daytime hours.
As the situation unfolds in Chandigarh, observers are closely monitoring the area for any further developments regarding the leopard’s whereabouts. The combination of wildlife sightings and extreme weather conditions has heightened concerns among local communities.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the leopard’s current location, and residents are urged to remain vigilant as authorities continue their search efforts.
