"We were monitoring real-time and finally on the wee hours of Wednesday, the female leopard arrived at the spot from the adjacent sugarcane field. I spotted the cub that was sitting beneath the round-shaped grill. Without wasting any time, we manually pulled the rope tied to the grill. Immediately, the cub ran towards its mother who took her away. This reunion of mother and cub could not have been possible without the support of our seniors and the team on the ground," added Bhandari.
