THIS Patna School Closed Until Further Notice

The Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) at the Air Force Station in Bihta, Patna has been closed for students and staff alike, after a leopard was spotted on its premises on Thursday night. The leopard was captured on the school's CCTV camera and since the area has a lot of cover for wildlife, it is difficult to locate and capture the wild cat.

As a safety measure, the school has been immediately shut until further notice.

The Forest Department, in coordination with Indian Air Force (IAF) officials, has deployed a team with extensive resources to locate the leopard. However, despite extensive efforts, the team has not yet succeeded in locating the wild cat.

"We have been using nets and cages strategically placed around the area to facilitate a safe capture. The Forest Department is taking precautions to ensure the leopard's capture with minimal risk to residents, staff, and the animal itself," a Forest Department official said on Saturday.
