Eight injured, including pregnant woman, in leopard attacks in Chhattisgarh

Authorities reported that a series of leopard attacks across forested areas of Chhattisgarh left eight individuals wounded, one of them a pregnant woman.
The injured were taken to nearby hospitals where they received medical attention for bite and claw injuries; the pregnant victim is being monitored closely for both her and the unborn child's health.
The state forest department has deployed additional patrols and issued advisories urging residents to avoid venturing alone near dense vegetation, especially at dusk and dawn.
Officials noted that human‑wildlife conflict has risen in recent months, prompting calls for stronger mitigation measures and community awareness programs.
