Cognizant Issues Leopard Safety Advisory in Pune
Cognizant, a big IT company in Pune, has told its employees to be careful because there have been more leopards seen in the area.
They should not walk alone at night or early in the morning, use the company's transport, and not take shortcuts through forests or alone areas.
If they see a leopard, they should stay calm and not run.
The company is doing this to keep everyone safe.
Cognizant has issued a leopard safety advisory to its employees in Hinjawadi, Pune due to increased leopard sightings in the area.
Employees are advised to avoid walking alone after dark or before sunrise and to use company transportation or shared cabs.
Shortcuts through forests or isolated areas should be avoided, and any suspicious animal activity should be reported to security.
