The efforts taken by the Forest Department officials in Nasik have finally paid off as they have successfully reunited a five-months-old cub with its mother after three days. This is the fourth successful leopard-cub reunion by Nasik Forest Department. Talking to mid-day Range Forest Officer Sanjay Bhandari said, "I am happy to share the news that our attempt to reunite the leopard cub with its mother has finally been successful and the leopard has taken away the cub that was kept in the sugarcane field."

On Tuesday evening, the forest department kept the cub beneath the round-shaped grill box so that the mother can easily spot the cub. A rope was also tied to the round-shaped grill so that it becomes easy for a female leopard to lift the grill when the female leopard comes searching.
