'There Was No Choice': Dr Meghana Pemmaiah, Vet Who Entered Well To Rescue Leopard | Exclusive

Karnataka: Dr Meghana Pemmaiah, a veterinarian who recently saved a leopard that had fallen inside a well in Karnataka, said: “I have been part of many rescue operations but this is the first time, I had to get down into a well sitting inside a cage to rescue a leopard. If I look back, sometimes I fear what could have happened if something had gone wrong.”

A one-year-old leopard had fallen into a well in Niddodi village, 35km from Mangaluru city, in Karnataka Sunday. More than two days had passed and the forest department was unable to rescue the animal as it was hiding in a small cavity inside the well. Thereafter, veterinarian couple Dr Meghana Pemmaiah and Dr Yashaswi Naravi, and experts Prithvi Salian and Nafisa Kousar along with forest officials decided to change their strategy to rescue the animal.
