Leopards on the prowl in agri field

Residents of Hadajana and Uttanahalli villages in Mysuru taluk have spotted leopards roaming in the field of one Swamy of Hadajana village in broad daylight since three days. The agricultural field is very close to the above two villages and the residents are afraid to come out of their houses, fearing the leopards on the prowl. The villagers have urged the Forest Department authorities to capture the leopards and release them elsewhere before any untoward incidents take place.
