In Burhanpur, there has been leopard terror for a month: 4 goats and 2 dogs have been killed; laborers are afraid to go into the fields, and work has stopped.

In the Goradia village and surrounding areas of the Naora range in Burhanpur district, leopards have been making frequent visits for the past month. The fear is so intense that farmers are unable to find laborers to work in their fields. Even the farmers themselves are hesitant to go into the fields due to the fear. The forest department has issued a notification in the area, requesting people to avoid venturing out in groups. The department had sought permission from Bhopal to set up a cage to trap the leopard, but was denied.
