Two more hurt in leopard attack

Two more persons were injured in the leopard attack on Friday at Gulyapalem village Vajrakaroor mandal of Anantapur district.

The villagers of Gulyapalem village have sleepless nights for the past one week as two leopards were on the rampage. More than 10 persons were injured in the earlier attacks and were shifted to Guntakal government hospital. Later, they disappeared into the hill tracts for three days. Two women sighted one leopard yesterday and informed the forest officials. Two of the forest staff wounded when the leopard tried to pounce on them. They had a miraculous escape, but received injuries. Several attempts to trap the leopards by tranquilizing proved futile. The villagers requested the officials to set up cages to trap them.
