A team from the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board visited the reported site and carried out a careful search after local residents reported a possible animal presence. The IWMB team inspected the area thoroughly to assess any immediate risk to the community.
Inspectors found some signs consistent with an animal having been in the vicinity, and evidence was documented during the on-site check. The IWMB emphasized that these findings prompted continued monitoring rather than immediate alarm.
As a precautionary step, patrols in the affected area will continue and a trapper will be deployed by the team to improve safety and enable controlled monitoring. The IWMB said these measures are intended to protect both residents and wildlife while further assessments are made.
Authorities appealed to the public to remain calm, avoid sharing unverified information on social platforms, and cooperate with local teams if requested. The IWMB confirmed that further updates will be issued if the situation changes or additional action is required.
