Leopard Sighting at Green Field School in Ghaziabad Forces Closure

A leopard was sighted at Green Field School in the Govindpuram area of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday, prompting immediate action from local authorities. The forest department cordoned off the school premises and dispatched a tranquilization team to ensure the animal’s safe capture. The alert was raised by school officials early in the morning after the leopard was detected via security cameras.

The Divisional Forest Officer, Isha Tiwari, stated that the school authorities contacted the department around 7:50 AM upon witnessing the animal’s movements through their outer security footage. “The officials provided us with video evidence showing the animal on the school grounds. We mobilized our team shortly thereafter, arriving by 8:30 AM,” Tiwari remarked.

Upon arrival, the forest officials encountered challenges related to visibility, complicating their efforts to pinpoint the leopard’s location. As a precautionary step, the school has remained closed since early morning, prioritizing the safety of students and staff during this unexpected situation.

The tranquilization team, consisting of trained personnel and specialized equipment, is tasked with the safe capture and relocation of the leopard. The operation is being executed with rigorous caution to prevent any potential harm to both the animal and individuals in the area. Furthermore, the Forest Department is actively monitoring the situation and has advised residents nearby to exercise caution and refrain from approaching the school grounds while the operation is ongoing.
