Umerkote: A black panther succumbed to injuries after being hit by an unknown vehicle. On Sunday morning, near Urutuli Ghat in the Udanti-Sitanadi Wildlife Sanctuary, located on the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border, a black panther was severely injured after being struck by an unidentified vehicle. Despite being taken to the Raipur Jungle Safari for treatment, the animal could not survive.
According to sources, the Forest Department received information about the severely injured black panther around 5 AM on Sunday. Following this, a team from the department rescued the animal and provided initial treatment at Gariabandh. However, as its condition deteriorated, the Forest Department decided to transfer it to Raipur Jungle Safari for advanced medical care.
A dedicated medical team at the safari attempted to treat the panther, but due to severe head injuries, it ultimately succumbed to its wounds.
