Muzaffarabad: The locals killed another rare species of Leopard in Sarai area of Azad Kashmir’s Jhelum Valley.
According to the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB), another leopard was killed in a village in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
The leopard had entered the human settlement area in Sarai village of Jhelum valley. While a woman and two others with minor injuries caused by the animal’s attack were transferred to a local hospital.
