In a heart-wrenching incident, a mother of three fell victim to a bear attack in the Jagan area of Balakot, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on Thursday. The attack underscores the growing concern over wildlife-human conflict in the region.
Despite efforts to rush the woman to King Abdullah Hospital, she succumbed to her injuries, leaving the community in shock and grief. Locals in the area have lamented the increasing frequency of bear attacks, highlighting the urgent need for preventive measures.
Residents are now urging authorities to take swift action to address the rising threat of bear encounters. Wildlife experts suggest that the prolonged heatwave in the region might be driving bears closer to human settlements in search of food, heightening the risk of such incidents.
Calls for immediate intervention have echoed through the community, with demands for enhanced protection measures and adequate provisions for wildlife. The tragic loss serves as a grim reminder of the pressing need to ensure the safety of both residents and wildlife in the region.
