MOTIHARI: Around 30,000 small and marginal farmers of 27 blocks in East Champaran district are jubilant after getting the information from the state environment, forest and climate change department that more than 2,500 nilgais (antilope) which were damaging their standing crops would be either killed or chased with the support of forest and block-level workers. They have been facing this menace for the last 15 years.
It has been a longstanding demand of the various organizations of farmers to resolve this issue.
