According to reports, chaos ensued at Harishankar Junior High School in Pokhri village, Chamoli district, when a bear carried away Aarav, a sixth-grade student. Seeing this, the other children were terrified. When the children hid in a room, the bear even tried to break down the door. Seeing the bear attacking their classmate, some children and teachers showed courage and chased after the bear to save him. Thanks to the bravery of the children and teachers, Aarav’s life was saved, but an atmosphere of fear has gripped the school. Witnessing such a scene at the school, the children were terrified and started crying.
It is worth noting that just two days ago, a student from the same school was attacked by a bear on his way to school, and today, the situation escalated when the bear entered the school premises. Considering the threat posed by the bear in the Jolly Grant forest range, children are now being escorted to school by forest guards.
