The forest department team inspected the spot after the incident and said that precautions have been taken after the sighting of two leopards came to the fore in the area.
Two leopards have been sigted in Tikri village of Haryana's Gurugram recently, triggering panic among locals. One of the leopards, that attacked and killed a cow in the area, was spotted in CCTV footage, raising concern among the locals and posing a threat to the cattle in the area.
Cows are easy preys for the leopards, and that is the reason they have become habitual to come in the area, a forest department official said.
Forest officials said 10 cattle have been killed by the leopards.
The forest department team inspected the spot after the incident and said that precautions have been taken after the sighting of two leopards came to the fore in the area.
"Today morning, we received information about a leopard attack in Tikli. Around 10 days ago, we also received information about the leopard attack here, after which our staff came here for a visit," news agency ANI quoted a a forest department official as saying on Wednesday.
"We received information here again today that a leopard attacked and killed a cow here in the cow stable," he said.
Tikli is situated in the lap of mountains, he said, adding that the cow shed there is near these mountains. "The four walls of the cow shed are such that even a person can cross them, making it easy for a leopard to come to the area," he said.
Adding further, he said, "In the CCTV footage, two leopards can be seen arriving in the area. Cows are easy preys for the leopards, and that is the reason they have become habitual to come in the area."
"We have issued directions to the concerned administration to raise the walls of the cowshed or set a trap as a precaution. They have requested that we set up a capturing cage, for which we will set up two capturing cages to catch the leopard," he said.
Earlier last week, the Haryana Wildlife Department team successfully rescued a leopard near Bhainswal village in Panipat. After the rescue, the leopard was safely relocated to Kalesar National Park.
There have been multiple reports of leopard sightings in the Haryana's Karnal and Panipat areas, prompting the rescue operation.
