Anand, Jan 19 (ANI): Wildlife officials in Gujarat's Anand District rescued a leopard after it strayed into a residential building.
The leopard had entered a crowded locality of Gujarat Industrial Development Council area, causing panic among the residents.
Residents said that the leopard was roaming around the area for some days.
"Some days back residents of Syedpura village saw the leopard, after that people again saw the same leopard on AC Foot road in Anand district," said S.Krivastava, district forest warden.
In recent years, incidents of wild animals straying into urban areas have increased owing to loss of habitat and extension of human settlements into forest areas. (ANI)
