Leopard captured in Dalgaon Tea Garden
Alipurduar: An adult female leopard was captured early Tuesday from Dalgaon Tea Garden in Alipurduar, bringing relief to residents after days of panic. The Forest department had set up a trap between sections 7 and 14 with a goat as bait, following repeated livestock attacks. Locals heard the leopard’s roar at dawn and found it trapped. A team from Madarihat Range under the Jaldapara Wildlife Division quickly arrived and removed the animal. “After a health check at the NIC in Madarihat, it was released into the Jaldapara forest,” said Range Officer Subhashis Roy.
