Compensation increased for deaths and injuries caused by wild animal attacks

In particular, the compensation for human deaths due to leopard attacks has been raised to Rs 25 lakh. Leopards frequently venture into human settlements, especially rural areas, in search of food and water. These animals often prey on farmers' livestock and stray dogs. The western talukas of the district, known for their sugarcane cultivation and proximity to forested areas, report a higher incidence of leopard encounters.
