Srinagar, Dec 3: A bear first seen inside the Kashmir University campus has been repeatedly spotted in Soura, Habak, NIT, and Nigeen, prompting alerts in several Srinagar localities.

The Wildlife Protection Department said the bear is mostly active in the evening and remains hidden during the day. Despite ongoing search operations, the animal has not been physically sighted; its presence has only been confirmed through CCTV footage.

Authorities are unsure whether it is a single bear or multiple animals, and tracking efforts continue. The public has been advised to stay alert, avoid poorly lit or isolated areas, and immediately report any sightings.
