AN INJURED deer believed to have escaped from the Keibul Lamjao National Park during the "Operation Summer Storm" launched by the security forces, died today at Moirang Thana.
The injured deer was found in a ditch at Moirang Kokil Bon fields by one Laiphrakpam Tombi wife of Manihar of Moirang Thana Leikai this morning.
She found the deer inside the ditch with several injury marks in neck and rear part.
She brought the deer home and consulted with veterinary doctor Hemam Imocha.
