Chandigarh, December 24

A nearly five-year-old male leopard was found dead in Nepli Range of the Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary on Thursday. Debendra Dalai, Chief Conservator of Forests and Chief Wildlife Warden, UT, said no injury mark was visible on the body.

A panel of three veterinary doctors, comprising experts from the UT Animal Husbandry Department, Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Wildlife Department conducted the post-mortem to find out the cause of the death.

Dalai said the panel would submit its report on Monday. He, however, ruled out hunting as all claws of the leopard were found intact. — TNS

No injury mark

Debendra Dalai, Chief Conservator of Forests and Chief Wildlife Warden, UT, said no injury mark was visible on the body.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
