Srinagar: After unleashing reign of terror in high security Gupkaar last month, the leopard scare has taken flight straight for the Srinagar International Airport neighbourhood –putting security agencies on tenterhooks as this threat is just not traceable on radar, a hi-tech surveillance device generally used to check aerial infiltrations at such sensitive locations.
Wildlife officials have confirmed the presence of around three leopards in Rangreth area, which houses Indian Air Force (IAF) establishments including common runway, used by the defence forces and the civil aviation flights operating from the Srinagar International Airport.
While the IAF authorities are understood to have issued advisories to its men and their families not to venture out alone in the late hours, the fear is no less in the nearby residential colonies of Rawal Pora and Gogoo, in the heels of the fortified highlands.
And, this scare has been there for the past around a month when a leopard was sighted near Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah’s Gupkar bungalow on December 11.
