Sambalpur: A leopard, which had fallen into a well near Hindol ghat under Charamala range in Odisha’s Sambalpur district, was rescued by range staff following a rescue operation with the help of police and Rairakhol fire personnel on Wednesday.
According to sources, the leopard fell into the well last night. Some villagers heard its grunting roar this morning and informed the local police and Charmal range office around 8 am. Initially, a wooden plank tied to a rope at both ends was dropped into the well to help the feline stay afloat. A wooden ladder was then lowered down. The leopard hopped on it and climbed out of the well.
