There is a lot of bear migration in Srikakulam district. Especially in Uddanam and coastal areas, bears roam around all the time. In the Tithali cyclone, the trees and vegetation in the garden were leveled to the ground. This makes it impossible for wild animals to hide. That is why wild animals are coming into the forest. The migration of bears is high in Sompeta, Mandasa, Palasa, Vajrapukottur and Santabommali mandals. There have been cases in the past of people being attacked and killed. Even now, the people of Uddan want the state government to respond.
