Ashutosh Shendge, assistant conservator of forest, said, “A leopard has been sighted in this locality for the first time. It is a good habitat for wildlife as this part of the Western Ghats is home for many herbivorous animals.”
“The leopard had entered the fencing premises to catch a dog and got stuck. It will be released after necessary treatment,” he said.
