Former BJP MLA of Garhwa Girinath Singh has urged the state chief minister Hemant Soren and chief secretary Sukhdev Singh to set up a high level inquiry as to how three lives of minor children were lost to leopard in a span of two weeks in Garhwa. 

He said it is the elephants that kill the poor and devastate their property. Now leopard has joined the mission of destruction. The state government can't sit like a duck while poor children are becoming preys for the leopard. End 

Girinath Singh said the Garhwa forest administration was caught napping and ill prepared to meet this crisis unleashed by the leopard. 

He said none of the forest personnel have ever eye sighted the leopard till date. It is collecting the left over pug marks only. 

The BJP leader said the district forest administration and state wild life management did not work in tandem as a result the leopard continues to kill human being. 

In one case the leopard has even half eaten the body of its prey a minor boy. 

The BJP leader said "Let the principal chief conservator of forest and chief wild life warden Jharkhand Shashikar Samanta tell us as to how many days he will take to declare leopard a man eater as if 14 days appear to be little and loss of three lives all the more insignificant."

Girinath Singh quoting the guidelines for declaring human eating leopard said the NTCA asks for prompt declaration without delay and slackness. He said the NTCA is very clear that with the onset of the first case of human eating by the leopard there is no reason to wait for more several deaths of human lives by the leopard. 

The BJP leader said he is in touch with his party leaders to drag the chaotic approach towards the leopard control to the High Court. 

On the other hand the conservator of forest Garhwa Dileep Kumar Yadav IFS said we are doing everything for saving the lives of the innocent children. Around 60 trap cameras have been installed. Automatic cage is on the move with the goat as bait. Drones have been flown. Local elected representatives have been kept on the panel of the advisory committee for the menace and its containment of the leopard. End
