Two girls attacked by leopards in Uttarakhand’s Pauri: 5-year-old killed in Vajali, 8-year-old injured in Kotdwar; forest teams deploy traps, cages. Talks between villagers and the divisional forest officer continued even after the two detained officials were released following assurances. Affected landowners and farmer representatives have demanded clear written assurances on market valuation and fair compensation norms before field surveys or land acquisition proceed.
