Chief Minister Budhdhadev Bhattacherjee along with daughter Suchetana and Forest Minster Jogesh Barman visited the Khayerbari Leopard Rescue Centre yesterday. Kalyan Das, the divisional forest officer of Cooch Behar, escorted them. The chief minister was thrilled while spotting the leopards. He quizzed Mr. Das on several issues related to the welfare of the animals.

The CM seemed happy with the health of the captive animals and was interested in their age and rehabilitation plans. Khayerbari has turned out to be an attraction for the tourists visiting Dooars. The cats rehabilitated in the centre include orphans, circus animals and rescued leopards. Chief Minister also inaugurated a watch tower just beside the enclosure. Many tourists come here to see the leopard but there is not enough battery operated vehicles available for everyone. Thus the watchtower would fulfill a long standing need of the centre. The CM also handed over Rs. 52,000 to six forest committees as their share of the revenue collected from tourists visiting khayerbari.
