Wild animals wandering in search of water.....
Experts say that the forest department is given a good budget by the government in summer for the care of wild animals and for their water arrangements. But the responsible people are seen to make arrangements for wild animals only on paper. And in reality, nothing happens. According to the information, where this female leopard is passing with her cubs in the North Forest Division, there is a residential area ahead and the female leopard is going there with her cubs in search of water. Due to the negligence of the forest department officials, wild animals are crossing the road in broad daylight and the responsible people have no idea about it.

Administrative response....
The video has gone viral, it is from our own area. The forest department team is keeping a watch. Patrolling has also been increased, water has been arranged in the forests, but due to the heat there is a shortage of water, due to which the mother leopard has come out with her cubs in search of water in the residential area.
