Tribal resident Madhav, injured in a triple bear attack in Sagar, has not received promised government assistance or adequate medical care, prompting activist Gopal Bharagw to block the forest department and arrange a private ambulance to Bhopal.
A tribal resident identified as Madhav was mauled by three bears in the forested outskirts of Sagar district, leaving him with serious injuries that require specialized treatment. The attack occurred several months ago, and Madhav was initially taken to a local health centre where his condition was deemed critical.
Despite assurances from the state government that financial aid and advanced medical facilities would be provided, Madhav has not received any substantive support. His health has continued to deteriorate, and his family reports that the promised assistance has not materialised.
In response, local activist Gopal Bharagw staged a protest by surrounding the regional forest department office, demanding immediate intervention. Bharagw arranged for a private ambulance to transport Madhav to a tertiary care hospital in Bhopal, citing the lack of adequate care in the district.
Forest officials acknowledged the protest and said they would review the case, but no concrete timeline for aid or treatment has been announced yet.
