Animal menace: Farmers use sarees to fence farms
The New Indian Express Madurai
|January 14, 2025
FRUSTRATED over several failed attempts to chase away wild animals, farmers of Palani and Oddanchatram have started using sarees as fences.
The action comes in line with the advice offered by elderly farmers, who observed that the wild animals, especially wild boars and peacocks, tend to stay away from sarees with colourful patterns.
According to sources, farmers cultivating maize, sugarcane, fruit and pulses, among others had erected barbed wire fences and solar fences in a bid to prevent wild boars from entering the farmlands.
