Forest officials have confirmed that a leopard has made the golf course in the Military Camp area in Belagavi its home.
Deputy Conservator of Forests Anthony S.M. has appealed to residents of the areas near the golf course not to venture out in the mornings or late evenings.
“It seems the wild cat has taken temporary residence in the thick vegetation surrounding the golf course. We appeal to residents of the surrounding areas to cooperate with us and not to venture out alone in the mornings or evenings. They should also stop going for walks in the golf course,’’ he said.
