- Recognize that leopards are the residents of the area and mere sighting does not translate into danger.
- Leopards do not recognize our kind of boundaries, forest areas and housing colonies.
- Ensure that children are supervised by adults, especially after dark
- Do not move about alone after dark. If necessary, play music on your mobile phones to allow leopards to realize that there are humans around. Leopards are sensitive enough to avoid contact with humans and do their best to avoid us.
- If a leopard is sighted, give it right of way and allow it to move off peacefully.
- If a leopard is sighted, do not form a crowd around it. Mob behavior will cause the animal to panic and possibly harm someone in its effort to escape.
- Ensure effective garbage disposal and keep the dogs indoors.
- The Forest Department is the sole authority to deal with any leopard related incident. Promptly call the control room
