The New Indian Express Kochi
|March 06, 2025
THE forest department has sent a notice to the secretary of Chakkittapara grama panchayat seeking explanation on its controversial decision to shoot wild animals that enter human settlements.
On Wednesday, panchayat president K Sunil Kumar made the unusual announcement that Chakkittapara grama panchayat council has decided to shoot wild animals that enter human settlements within the panchayat, which is located in the hilly region of Kozhikode district and ruled by the LDF.
The panchayat council has decided to appoint 20 empanelled shooters for this purpose.
In 2022, the state cabinet gave permission to local bodies to kill wild boars that damage agriculture and property, and endanger lives.
