To raise awareness of the problem of open wells near animal habitats, Indian Forest Service (IFS) employee Susanta Nanda recently uploaded a video showcasing the rescue of a leopard.

The brief video depicts the leopard being removed from the well and walking away as soon as he is done. Mr. Nanda stated in the caption that closing wells near animal habitats will lessen the number of incidences. He also labelled the outdated method of saving the leopard “Mohenjo Daro Harappan technology,” mocking it.

The incident’s exact location is unknown at this time.

The video has received over 43,000 views on Twitter since it was shared. While some online commenters praised the forest department employees for the rescue, others advised covering open wells to protect children and wildlife.

This should be viewed as a mission mode project that involves identifying, GPS-tagging open wells, and covering them from the top with a Mild Steel screen or locally created checkerboard jali that is made by welding thick MS rods. This will eliminate a great deal of hassle, said one user. “Why can’t the IFS jointly request similar adjustments from the environment ministry. This and other similar problems must arise for them all, the other person continued.

“The leopard appears appreciative because it left without doing any damage. The forest department deserves praise, third stated. “I believe that this is the highest level of professional fulfilment one can achieve.!! Congratulations to the team,” fourth wrote.

A different video of a leopard being saved from a well went viral earlier this month, in the meanwhile. The tragedy happened in the Sambalpur district of Odisha, and the state Fire Department carried out the rescue effort.

The leopard was seen in the video grabbing hold of the ladder that the officials had lowered into the well. The creature suddenly emerged from the well and ran into some adjacent bushes. More than 24,000 people have watched the video on social media.

Another day.
