Kashmir University Declares Campus Safe After Bear Sighting
Kashmir Observer
|NOVEMBER 29, 2025 ISSUE
Panic gripped the girls’ hostels at Kashmir University late Friday evening after a black bear strayed into the campus, triggering an emergency response and forcing students to stay locked indoors.
Eyewitnesses said the bear was first spotted near the Sadrabal side, casually ambling along the footpath as stunned commuters watched in disbelief.
Moments later, a pack of stray dogs began chasing it. In an attempt to escape, the bear climbed an electric pole, leapt over a boundary wall and landed directly inside the girls’ hostel zone — sending shockwaves through the hostels.
