Hyderabad: As the migratory season comes to an end, many birds that had made the Nehru Zoological Park their holiday home are beginning to make their way back.
This, bird-watchers say is an annual affair as the zoo is the middle ground for birds to call their home. Since the zoo already has greenery coupled with the presence of a large water body, it becomes a viable nesting place. The Deccan Birders group, on Sunday, had a bird-watching trip.
Five people were injured in an attack by a leopard.
Indore:
Five people, including a one-year-old girl, were injured in an attack by a leopard that strayed into a residential area in Madhya Pradesh s Indore on Thursday, officials said.
The leopard was later tranquilised and caught by the authorities after five hours of efforts, they said.
The leopard ventured into Limbodi and its surrounding areas from a nearby forest and attacked five people- the toddler, a 30-year-old woman, one employee each of a zoo and the forest department, and a watchman, the officials said. The leopard was trapped in an under-construction building in Limbodi area using a net and later tranquilised with the help of a dart gun, Kamla Nehru Zoo in-charge Dr Uttam Yadav told PTI.
