The Wildlife Department was alerted to the bear being trapped in a small corral in Dapa Katisho village. Upon receiving the information, Sajjad Ahmad Khan, Wildlife Management Officer of Deosai National Park, led a team to Dapa Valley.

However, they faced protests from the local community, who voiced concerns about the bear’s presence after it reportedly killed several goats and attacked an elderly villager.

The operation successfully addressed the community’s concerns while ensuring the bear’s return to its natural environment.
