In the Altai in the Chemal district introduced high alert due to bears
In the Chemal district announced a high-alert regime due to the frequent exits of bears to people. For the safety of residents and guests of the area, the authorities have set a number of restrictions.
Under the ban were cultural and sports events in the open air with the participation of minors.
Parents are advised to independently take children to educational organizations and take them back or use organized school transport. Independent movement of children to the place of study and back in the period from 20:00 to 08:00 is also advised to exclude until a special order of the administration of the Chemal district.
Another recommendation concerns forest walks. Residents and guests of the area are asked to abandon hiking for berries and mushrooms.
Earlier, due to bears, a high-alert regime was introduced in Ongudai and Turochak districts. On August 19, the predator attacked a 29-year-old tourist from the Novosibirsk region. The girl, together with the groom, rested in a tent near the camp in the Artybash rural settlement. The beast pulled the tourist out of the tent and tore her, burying the remains in the ground.
In August, residents of the Altai Republic also repeatedly reported about bears that came to the villages and appeared on their outskirts.
Against the background of the situation, the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Altai Republic in early September issued 157 licenses for the extraction of predators. Later, the hunters received 14 more permits.
