After frequent sightings of leopards on the periphery of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and Aarey Milk Colony, now a video of one taking a stroll in the premises of a building at Gokuldham in Malad East has gone viral. A Forest Department team has visited the area and spoken to the locals.

‘Don’t provoke it’

In the video one can see that the leopard is walking in the building compound and in the background the main road in Gokuldham can be seen. On Tuesday Forest Department personnel interacted with the locals and told them that in case they come across the leopard, they should not try to provoke it, and report the sighting to them so they can decide on a strategy to deal with it.
