Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda recently shared a video showing the rescue of a leopard to draw attention to the issue of open wells around animal habitats.
The short clip shows the leopard being lifted from inside the well and leaving the place as soon as he is pulled out. In the caption, Mr Nanda noted that such incidents will reduce if wells around animal habitats are closed. He also took a dig at the old technique of rescuing the leopard and called it the “Mohenjo Daro Harappan technology”.

“This should be taken as a mission mode project, identification, GPS tagging of open wells and covering them from the top with Mild Steel screen or checkerboard local made jali by welding thick MS rods. This will save a lot of hassle,” wrote one user. “Why can't the IFS jointly ask the environment ministry to come upon such changes. They must all come up against some joint issues like this one,” added another.
“The leopard seems to be grateful and went off without harming anyone. Hats off to the forest department,” said third. “I think, this is the utmost kind of professional satisfaction one can get. !! Kudo to the team..!!” wrote fourth.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, another video showing a leopard being rescued from a well had taken the internet by storm. The incident took place in Odisha's Sambalpur district and the rescue operation was conducted by the state Fire Department.
