Guwahati: Man-animal conflicts have seen a rise in Assam as on Thursday it was reported that a man was severely injured in a bear attack in Baksa's Mushalpur.

The injured person has been identified as Sonaram Brahma of Pub-Banglabari village, Mushalpur. He was attacked by a wild bear who had ventured into the village from the forest area in search of food.

Over the past few years, bears have been a major concern for the region as they would usually be seen in the village while searching for food.

It may be mentioned that even on November 22, a similar incident took place during which at least six persons were injured in the bear attack. The incident was reported in Chirang.

The incident took place when the six persons went to a bamboo garden to gather some canes. They were unaware of the danger that would follow once they entered the garden.

Before any of them could spot the bear, the bear spotted them and immediately attacked them. All of them were severely injured during the attack and only with the help of some locals, they managed to survive the attack.
