<p>Thane forest department sets up special control room, equipped with high-end tech, to trap big cat that attacked several people in the last six months</p>


In a first, the Thane Forest Department (territorial) has set up a small control room to track a ferocious leopard, which is suspected of being behind attacks in the last six months at Aarey Milk Colony, Goregaon. Here is where researchers track footage of leopard activity each night. A set of four CCTV cameras have been installed in the path frequented by leopards, while another one has been placed near the trap cage, so that if a harmless leopard approaches, the research team can use a hooter to scare it away.
