According to forest officials, some of the pilgrims and TTD employees, who were on duty, spotted a female panther at the 35th curve near the 7th mile, where just a few days back a young leopard was trapped by the forest staff. On being alerted by the employees and pilgrims, a team of forest officials visited the spot and found the pug marks.
Meanwhile, on the advice of forest officials, TTD Management has ordered for the closure of the footpath from 1600 hrs to 0600 hrs. According to sources, TTD was planning to impose permanent ban on Tirumala footpath during the night and in the wee hours.
