Sloth Bear roaming around the resdential area in Kotagiri creates panic

CCTV camera footage of a sloth bear recently entering a house in Rose Cottage residential area in Kotagiri has triggered panic among residents. Locals have urged forest officials to capture the animal and release it deep into the forest area.

It is panicking to see footage of a sloth bear moving inside town. We don’t know how many wild animals stray into the town where there are no CCTV cameras,” said Gopakumar, a Kotagiri resident. Arjunan, another resident said, “It is scary to venture out in the evenings. Many students come home late in the evening after tuition classes.” Residents have urged the forest department to install cages in and around the Rose Cottage residential area to capture the sloth bear at the earliest.

Locals also pointed out that sloth bear movement in Kotagiri town has of late become very frequent and common. Meanwhile, a forest official said, “A team has been formed to monitor the movement of the sloth bear in Kotagiri town.”
