Alipurduar, Jan. 10: The forest department has written to the Central Zoo Authority for permission to breed tigers and leopards in captivity at all rescue centres and zoos across the state.
Despite the CZA banning captive breeding in 2008, leopard cubs were born in a number of rescue centres across north Bengal in the past two years.
