Timely intervention by the Maharashtra forest department and an NGO, Wildlife SOS, has saved the life of a grievously injured leopard cub from Pathardi, a region in Ahmednagar district's Tigaon forest range.

The cub, which is around nine months old, was first spotted by villagers on Sunday. The locals immediately informed the forest department, which, in turn, brought it to the NGO's Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre in Junnar.
