The rescue operation took place in an undisclosed snow-covered region.
Indian Army soldiers are winning praise on social media after they rescued a distressed Himalayan Brown Bear cub, affectionately named Bahadur after its head became trapped in a metal container. A heartwarming video of the rescue operation has gone viral on social media, garnering widespread admiration.
The exact location of the rescue remains undisclosed, but the footage showcases the challenging high-altitude border environment in which the soldiers operated. The cub, clearly distressed, was spotted by the soldiers with its head stuck in the metal canister. They initially tried to remove the canister by hand but realised this approach could harm the bear. The troops then used tools to carefully cut through the metal, eventually freeing Bahadur.
“Indian army troops rescuing a Himalayan bear somewhere near their forward post,” the video was captioned on X.
