Chitral, March 27, 2026: In the remote Gobor Bakh area of Lotkoh Valley, a snow leopard attacked a livestock enclosure during the night, killing more than 40 animals.
According to local sources, the predator entered the shed of a poor farmer, identified as Wali Rehman, son of Majid Khan, and slaughtered a large number of goats and sheep. The incident has caused a huge financial loss to the affected family, who depended on livestock for their livelihood.
The attack has also spread fear and panic among residents of the area, who now feel unsafe and vulnerable to similar incidents.
Local community members have urged the relevant authorities, particularly the Wildlife Department, to take immediate notice of the situation. They have demanded adequate compensation for the affected farmer and called for effective measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
Residents said that while the protection of wildlife is important, ensuring the safety of human life and property must also be a priority to avoid further tragedies.
