A 65-year-old woman in Maharashtra's Palghar district was killed in a leopard attack on Sunday evening. The animal, identified as a leopard, bit her neck, leading to her death. Villagers are demanding camera and cage installations to capture the leopard and prevent future attacks, threatening a protest if their demands are not met.

Nine minor rivers supplying over 2,500 water bodies have faced decades of neglect, illegal sand mining, invasive trees, and encroachments. Official S. Krishnan highlighted that over one lakh acres of farmland rely on these waterways. Frequent transfers of district collectors repeatedly halted community desilting efforts, causing floodwaters to inundate residential areas during heavy rain.
