In response to rising concerns over leopard sightings, the Forest Research Institute (FRI) has announced a temporary closure of its campus for five days. This precautionary measure aims to ensure the safety of tourists and staff following a series of leopard encounters within the area.
Over the past week, the presence of the leopard has been increasingly noted, with reports of prey remains discovered on the campus, further heightening safety concerns. FRI officials are prioritizing the well-being of visitors and have urged the public to avoid the area during this closure.
Authorities are actively monitoring the situation and are taking necessary steps to manage wildlife interactions in the region. The FRI is also known for its rich biodiversity and educational programs, and officials hope to reopen the campus soon.
