The Forest department did not disclose the exact location where the big cat was found. But the Forest officials said they found the leopard while moving in the forest from the footage of the CCTV on August 15.
Around seven leopards have been captured in the CCTV which has been set-up by the Forest division. Sixty-two CCTV cameras have been installed in various forests in Dhenkanal. In the coming days, it will be clear how many leopards are there in the jungle.
