Leopard causes factory shutdown in India

    A wild cat caused the evacuation of a whole factory in India.

    A leopard was seen entering an automobile factory in Manesar, a city in the state of Haryana, causing the production line to be halted this morning, 5 October.

    Local reports claim around 500 workers were evacuated from the site and about 100 police officers attended the scene and cordoned off the area.

    More than 2000 workers had to wait outside the plant when they turned up for the morning shift to find a rescue operation underway.
