Over 100 tea estate employees live along with their families on the Carolina estate, near Coonoor. The unusual sight of bears romping on the estate for jamun fruits forced the residents to stay indoors until forest officials arrived at the spot late evening. The officials lit fire torches and chased the bears away into the deeper forest regions, after almost 6 hours, which allowed the relieved workers to finally step out of their homes.
