In the year 2015, the hills and forests adjacent to the settlements around the city in Korea, Manendragarh, Surajpur, Kanker, and Bastar were made habitable for bears under the Jamwant Scheme. Lakhs of rupees were spent and trees liked by the bears were planted. Guava, jamun, plum, macoy, gular and mango saplings were planted in these trees so that the bear could feed itself and remain in the forest. But this did not happen. Due to lack of care the plants dried up. Due to which bears are coming out of the forest towards cities and villages in search of food and water. Many times people’s lives are also in danger due to this.
