Summary:
They told us that the vet of Birsa Biological Park in Ormanjhi was being sent for tranquilizing the leopard,” a Latehar forest division official said. It suggested that the animal had retreated into a denser forest patch some 1.5km away. PK Verma, principal chief conservator of forests – wildlife (PCCF-WL), called the leopard’s death unfortunate. A battery of foresters then went in to the forest patch beating drums and tin cans. But the leopard could not be seen,” Latehar DFO Arvind Kumar Gupta told TOI over phone..
