Once again bear attack Mount Abu [ 9 Sept 2018 [

Army firing range bear attacked a local Abuite Mt Abu.

A screenshot was taken for the video per kind favour Harry 

This morning, once again, another Local Abuite was attacked by a bear near the Army firing range. After yesterday's bear attack in my immediate neighbourhood, one would have thought folks would be more cautious. The day has been lousy, weather-wise misty and dreary with a slight drizzle off and on. The guy who was exposed must have suddenly chanced upon the bear, provoking the attack. In this area, the firing range is a haunt of bears during the monsoon season. 

They will probably post shortly the video that is making its rounds of the treatment at the civil hospital via WhatsApp on the web. 

Very fortunate for this individual, he could escape without too much damage to his face.

Just received this snap from Charles via WhatsApp.

A bear attack near NeelKanth Temple area

Sloth Bear Mount Abu

Early morning 5:45 am all hell broke loose. From across the stream where we live we heard squealing of at least two dogs. My daughter and self-jumped out of bed and ran out shouting at the top of our voices SHOO, SHOO we thought the leopard had struck. There was also pandemonium a litter further down the road. 

I had ventured out the gate with my spotlight to see if I could see spot anything but due to the dense foliage, I presumed the leopard had disappeared with his prey in the background.

Man, I was very fortunate as it was not the leopard as we had assumed but a mother bear and her cubs. If I had been the victim of her attack I would have been ripped up as my one arm crutch would have been of no avail in fending off the bear.

The bear probably attacked the dogs that were passing this way and then moved off in the direction of the Neelkant Temple where it attacked a woman ripping off her ear and mauling her on the arm. The bear then moved towards the All India Radio station where a man who was outside the gate was severely mauled in his leg. The victims are currently undergoing treatment in the Global Hospital.

A local Abuite is on his way to Baba Ramdev's shrine.

Today while I was out birding I saw a few guys on bicycles. This aroused my curiosity, and I flagged one of them and asked him where he was going. He introduced himself as Shanti Lal. He and 5 others from Delaware Mount Abu were travelling 460 km to attend the Ramdevra Fair and pay homage to the saint at Ramdev Temple in Rajasthan. The temple is located 13 km from Pokhran on the Jodhpur-Jaisalmer road. Aba Ramdev’s followers regard him as the incarnation of Lord Krishna, while Muslims venerate him as Ramshah Pir. His followers are from Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Millions of his followers take this annual pilgrimage from Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and other parts of India.

Ramdev Jayanti is a public holiday in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The major celebration of Ramdev Jayanti takes place at the temple dedicated to him.

WHO IS BABA RAMDEV?

Volkswagen Car crashes into wall Mount Abu.

Three men are apprehended by Mount Abu police after a car crash.

Volkswagen Car crashes into wall Mount Abu.

A Volkswagen car late last night or early this morning crashed into the wall opposite the All India Radio station, Mount Abu. A local Abuite saw the crashed car and went to check it. He saw that the driver of the car and two other young men in the back seats were fast asleep. As there seemed to be no sign of injury to any of the three men he left. Later Mount Abu cops came and apprehended the three men. 

The question arises when the three are under the influence of alcohol that they are not even aware of their surroundings. If they were then they have landed themselves in deep trouble. It's fortunate that there was no other vehicle at the time the driver lost control of his vehicle. From the crash scene, it can be presumed he must have been zipping. 

Will update as and when more news is received.
