Srinagar: A semi-adult leopard, which had fallen into a nearly 10-ft deep water tank in Brakpora in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district was rescued by Wildlife Department on Saturday morning.

 

Reports said that a leopard was spotted by locals of Brakpora, stuck inside a water tank, in the orchards. The Wildlife Department authorities were informed, following which a rescue operation was launched to retrieve the beast from the water source.

 

After hours of efforts, the Wildlife Department team was successful in retrieving the leopard.

 

A Wildlife Department official said that it was a semi-adult leopard and has been shifted to Daksum Wildlife Sanctuary.
