Maha to extend Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre after lifting of MCC
Due to an increase in the number of leopards and leopard attacks in the Junnar and Shirur talukas of Pune district, the state government has given its approval for extending the existing Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre and will float tenders for the same after the model code of conduct for the Lok Sabha elections is lifted. The existing leopard rescue centre is inadequate as it already houses 52 leopards. Shirur leader and LS candidate Shivaji Rao Adhalrao said, “The Maharashtra government on Tuesday discussed the issue of leopard attacks in the Junnar taluka and promised to extend the existing leopard rescue centre.” “The forest department is getting 12.69 hectares of land owned by the irrigation department. Adhalrao met chief minister Eknath Shinde and other office bearers to discuss the man-leopard conflict in Junnar taluka.
