A leopard was sighted twice on the premises of Pune International Airport on November 19, prompting the forest department to advise caution to both civil and Indian Air Force (IAF) authorities. Monitoring of the leopard, which has been ongoing for 15-20 days, includes the installation of trap cages and camera traps in the area. The airport operates as a civil enclave within the IAF’s Lohegaon Air Base, necessitating coordinated airside operations. Previous sightings have not disrupted flight operations, but the forest department emphasized the need for immediate precautionary measures to ensure safety within these sensitive zones. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges of wildlife management in proximity to critical infrastructure.
