Leopard Attacks Rise in Dibrugarh Tea Gardens, Workers Left Vulnerable

Leopard attacks are increasing in Dibrugarh’s tea gardens, endangering workers’ lives. A recent incident saw Nageswari Karwa killed while carrying lunch for her son. Despite submitting documents, her family awaits compensation. Over 30 leopards have been trapped in nearby estates over 14 years, yet no long-term safety measures exist. Workers accuse authorities of neglect, contrasting the swift response in urban areas. Fear and frustration continue to grow among these vulnerable communities.
