A few days after a tiger mauled a four-year-old boy to death at Haladi village under the Khariar Road Forest Range in Nuapada district, the big cat scare gripped the locality once again on Saturday when locals spotted a leopard roaming near a temple in the area in morning.
Forest officials reached the spot and kept a watch on the animal’s movement, sources said.
It may be recalled that Chhaganlala, son of Hiralal Pandey of the village, had been dragged by a leopard into a nearby forest on the night of May 26 while he was sleeping beside his parents on the verandah of the house.
