Pauri Garhwal, 9 Jun: Even as terrifying news was received today of a leopard killing a woman in Dewal in Pauri Garhwal, today, the terror of a man‑eater leopard that had been haunting Bari village in Kot block of Pauri Garhwal district for several days finally came to an end when renowned hunter Joy Hukil shot it dead with a precise strike. The killing of the leopard, which had recently claimed the life of a woman in the village, brought immense relief to the frightened residents who had been living under constant fear and anger.
With this operation, Hukil has achieved a remarkable milestone, having now eliminated fifty man‑eating tigers and leopards under the orders of the forest department. His record stands as one of the most extraordinary in the field of wildlife control in Uttarakhand. Whenever violent animals pose a threat to human life in the hill regions, the administration turns to Hukil’s expertise to restore safety and confidence among the people.
The successful elimination of the leopard has not only ended the immediate threat but also reaffirmed Hukil’s reputation as the foremost hunter called upon in times of crisis. For the villagers of Bari, the action has brought a long‑awaited sense of security after days of dread.
