Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 3 For the second time in a space of a few days, a leopard was spotted in the popular hill station tourist destination at Ponmudi in the state capital district.

On Wednesday morning, around 7.15 am, a leopard was seen passing behind a government school and was first seen by a female cooking staff at the school.

The woman soon alerted the locals and a team of forest officials arrived at the spot and went into the nearby forest area, but was unable to spot the leopard.
