Dalhousie Bear Video: Terror of bears in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh is not a new thing. Many videos of bears have already surfaced in Chamba. Now a video has surfaced of a bear entering a kitchen and the bear then stole the food items and ate them.
Chamba. These days, the terror of wild bears has reached its peak in Dalhousie, a tourist town in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. The situation is such that bears are now coming out of the forests and directly reaching residential areas and homes. In many places, incidents of bears roaming around roads, markets and houses have come to light.
Now the situation has become so bad that bears are entering houses at night and taking away even food items from the kitchen.
One such shocking incident came to light last week in the Kholpukhar area of Dalhousie. Here a wild bear entered the iron fence at night and reached straight to the kitchen window. Within a few minutes, he broke the window and entered inside, picked up the food items kept in the kitchen and left with ease.
When the owner of the house woke up in the morning and saw the broken window, his first fear was theft. But when he searched the CCTV footage, he was stunned to see the scene that emerged. Because a big bear was seen breaking the kitchen window and entering inside. The bear stayed inside the kitchen for about 5 minutes and came out after picking up the food items.
It was fortunate that he did not go to other rooms of the house, otherwise a major accident could have happened. Such incidents have been happening continuously for some time. Many incidents of bears breaking windows and stealing kitchen items have come to light in Dalhousie area, due to which people are extremely scared.
At first I thought he was a thief, then when I saw the CCTV footage, I was shocked.
Landlord Jagdish Kumar told that the terror of bears is continuously increasing in Dalhousie. When I woke up in the morning I found the window broken. Initially it seemed that a thief might have come, but after watching the CCTV it was clear that a big bear was breaking the window and entering inside. The bear was first seen sniffing the door of my room, but did not come inside. After this he went straight into the kitchen and ran away with the food items. He has urged the Forest Department to immediately take effective steps against the increasing bear terror in the area, so that the safety of the people can be ensured and any major accident can be prevented.
