Jammu, August 13

A leopard was rescued on Tuesday by a team of wildlife officials after it was locked by villagers in a cowshed for nearly 20 hours in a remote forest village in Kathua district, officials said.

The leopard ventured into hilltop Barmote village in Bani Tehsil around 9.15 pm on Monday and attacked a goat before entering the nearby cowshed with its prey, officials said. They said some villagers gathered courage and locked the cowshed before informing the local police.

A police team reached the village on Tuesday morning and guarded the cowshed throughout the day before a team of the Wildlife Protection Department finally tranquilised the beast around 5 pm, they said. — PTI

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).
