The leopard in Dahanu that died after getting caught in a wire snare

A gang of poachers appears to have spread its traps in the Dahanu and Palghar belt, believe residents, after a leopard died on getting caught in a wire snare. Locals from Dahanu told mid-day that the need of the hour is to increase patrolling in the area, as the trend of installing snares for wild animals, especially wild boars, has been happening on a large scale but, unfortunately, leopards are ending up getting trapped and dying.
