"Trained bear rescue team from Nabrangpur, successfully rescuing a bear that had fallen into an open well. Subsequently released in its habitat in the Kalahandi South division. Kudos to the team Time to have a strict law to prevent open wells in wildlife habitat" shared Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter. Along with this, he also shared a video of the rescue.

What is shown in the video?

The rescue video begins to show a bear stuck in a well. It has been tied to a rope to pull it upwards. Then, a few people can be seen with a cage right above the bear. Once the bear reaches on top of the well, it enters the cage. The bear is later transferred to the wildlife by the officials and is released there.

A second shared, "Great. The last part of getting the bear inside the cage is very cleverly done." A third added, "Wow, we have a trained bear rescue team, nice to know." A fourth expressed, "Open wells are becoming a death trap for wild animals. Time to have constructive and conclusive efforts on this. This bear is fortunate to have survived but not others."
