Railway Guard Records Leopard Sprinting Through Bhanwartank Tunnel

A railway guard on the Bilaspur-Katni line captured a leopard running across the tracks inside the Bhanwartank tunnel on his mobile device. The animal appears to be in full stride, moving swiftly along the rail bed.

The short video, now circulating widely online, shows the leopard emerging from darkness, dashing past the camera, and then disappearing. The incident has sparked discussion among rail employees and nearby communities about the risks posed by wildlife on active rail routes.

Bhanwartank is encircled by thick forest, a habitat that regularly hosts elephants, leopards, and other wildlife. While occasional sightings are expected, an animal moving on a line that carries frequent train traffic is a cause for concern.
