PITHORAGARH: Panic gripped the Naya Bazaar area of Berinag town on Saturday morning when a leopard entered a house creating terror amongst residents.

She quickly called her neighbours who informed the forest department.



Till the time of writing this report, forest officials were trying to get the animal in a cage.
