INDORE: The presence of a leopard in Ralamandal Sanctuary here for a second time in a month has led the forest authorities to restrict the entry of visitors in the reserve area.
Last month, the forest officials had caught a leopard from the sanctuary and released it in the Choral forest area.
However, forest guards recently discovered pugmarks of another leopard which had killed a blue bull. Following this, entry of visitors in the reserve area has been restricted to avoid any harm to them, Ralamandal Sanctuary's superintendent Ashok Kharate told to mediapersons on Wednesday.
As a precautionary measure, the entry of visitors in the sanctuary has been limited to between 10am and 3pm, he said.
The forest guards have launched a hunt to catch the big cat and set up cages with dogs as a bait, Kharate said.
