Nabarangpur, 29th July 2025: A bear was seen roaming today around 2 PM in Pilika village under Nabarangpur district’s Sadar block. Since it was daytime, a crowd of villagers gathered to catch a glimpse of the bear. The bear, seeing the people approaching, turned around and walked away from the commotion.
Had it been nighttime, someone would most likely have fallen victim to the bear. Therefore, the forest department is being urged to take note of the matter and arrange to drive the bear away from the residential area.
If such steps are taken, the general public in the village will feel relieved from the growing fear of wild animals. Intellectuals of the region strongly demand that the administration intervene immediately.
