Deputy Forest Officer

The Delhi Forest department on Thursday issued an advisory in villages adjoining the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary after a leopard was caught on a camera trap installed near the office of Deputy Conservator of Forests, officials said.

An assistant who had gone to open the metallurgy lab at the IIT-Bombay campus got the shock of his life last morning when he saw a leopard hiding behind a generator. Scared to death, the assistant still had the presence of mind to down the shutter behind him before rushing off to inform the college authorities.
