A leopard who got off-tracked inside a Maruti Suzuki plant for 36 hours in Manesar on Friday, was tranquillised by the wildlife officials. 

 

 

No casualties have been reported so far. The production at the plant has been stalled for over next 24 hours now.

The officers monitoring the CCTV cameras spotted the leopard at 1.45 pm on Friday. Soon, the team with no further delay rushed to plant and tranquillised the big cat at 2.06 pm.

It is not the first time the wild animal was spotted on a CCTV camera. It was seen several times before on Thursday but the wildlife department was left with no trace of the animal even after 24-hours of search operation. 

“It will take 20-30 minutes for the leopard to calm down. The team members saw the leopard in CCTV footage and grabbed the opportunity to fire the tranquiliser at it,” Vinod Kumar, conservator of wildlife, Haryana (south) said.

The Manesar plant is located 20 km away from Gurgaon and is considered one of the biggest manufacturing plants of the automobile firm.
