Otherwise crowded roads and streets are empty during the lockdown, providing a perfect opportunity for wildlife to invade urban areas.
In one incident of animals wandering, a leopard was also spotted in India’s Chandigarh on 30 March.
With a day left for the 21-day lockdown to end, several states in India have already extended the it until 30 April to contain the spread of COVID-19.
