| Leopard found dead in Poonch | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 15: A leopard was found dead in a forest area near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Saturday, officials said. The carcass was recovered from the forest area of Balnoi in Mankote by a team of forest officials, headed by Range Officer Adrees Khan, they said. The leopard had apparently died due to a land mine explosion, according to officials.
The forward areas are dotted with landmines as part of an anti-infiltration obstacle system to prevent terrorists from crossing the border.
The carcass was handed over to the wildlife protection department for a postmortem examination and later disposal, officials added. |
