Dehradun: Forest department officials rescued a leopard which had entered the Jolly Grant airport premises here.
According to Sub-Divisional Forest Officer GS Martolia, the leopard was terrified by the sound of incoming and outgoing flights and hid in a pipe near the new terminal building, NDTV reported.
Some time after the last flight took off on Tuesday night and it became quiet and calm, the leopard ventured out of the pipe. The Uttarakhand Forest Department team, which had been waiting for an opportune moment, caged the big cat.
The rescue effort lasted nearly 10 hours, informed an official.
The animal, which had jumped over the boundary walls, has been kept at Badkot range of Dehradun forest division. It will be released into the forest after experts from Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, test its vital parameters, incformed DFO Rajiv Dhiman.
