The quick actions of a security guard have helped save the life of a four weeks old leopard cub from stray dogs. The cub was found close to a road on Monday morning and Forest Department officials have started the process of reuniting it with its mother.

Talking to mid-day Range Forest Officer and in charge of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) Leopard Rescue Team, Vijay Barabde said, “A security guard at Film City came across a three to four weeks old leopard cub on Monday morning. As there were stray dogs nearby, which could pose a threat to the cub, the guard it handed over to forest guards. We have initiated the process of reuniting the cub with its mother and hope that she takes it with her at night.”
