Srinagar, Mar Apr 04: Renowned socio-political activist and senior trade union leader Mohammad Altaf Dar has voiced grave concern over the increasing sightings of wild animals in residential areas in different parts of Valley which pose a significant threat to public safety and property. Dar highlights the urgency of addressing this pressing issue as reports of encounters with animals such as leopards and bears surge in recent months.
