Quoting local sources, news agency KNT reported that a leopard was spotted near ‘Alamdar Brick Kiln’ and that the same leopard has been roaming in Sharatpora and Bonhuma areas of Budgam.
Those who spotted the big cat near the brick kiln raised an alarm and the Wildlife department was informed.
“We saw a big cat early this morning near the brick kiln. The same leopard was spotted in the peripheries of Sharatpora village.
