The erratic rain schedule is playing spoilsport for Mumbaikars who were keen on visiting the leopards that were brought to the zoo a few months ago. Zoo officials said that owing to the October rains, the work on their enclosures have been running behind schedule and visitors will not be able to see them until early next year.

The leopards were brought to the Byculla zoo and placed in the quarantine section in May and were supposed to be moved into their enclosure by September. However, the work on their enclosure is a long way from being completed.
