Leopard Enters School

A leopard strayed into a private school campus here on Friday, triggering panic among the locals, a senior forest official said. While a hunt is on for the big cat, the district collector has declared all schools here closed for the next three days.

The rescue operation took almost three hours, said Wildlife Welfare Association, a non-governmental organisation working in Thane and Mumbai.

A leopard strayed into a school in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh and attacked a student before it was locked up in a classroom on Wednesday.

A male leopard which entered a Bengaluru school and injured five people has escaped from a zoo, sparking a frantic search for the big cat, wildlife officials said on Monday.

The leopard that was captured last week after it had entered a private school in Bengaluru and injured three forest department personnel has escaped from the enclosure in Bannerghatta Biological Park, where it was caged.

Two days after a leopard entered a private school near Varthur in Bengaluru, two more were spotted near the same school on Tuesday.

Schools and market places reopened on Tuesday after being closed since Sunday as a precautionary measure after a leopard entered the city and attacked several people, officials said.

It's not often that you hear a five-year-old wanting to stay back in school after classes. But, in the case of the leopard that ventured in to the National Education Society school in Mulund West on Saturday, its desire to hang about in the school premises came to an abrupt end, within 24 hours of its sighting.
