The Samyukta Karshaka Samiti (Joint Action Council of Farmers) will take out a march to Central government offices across Kerala on Monday demanding immediate steps to prevent human- animal conflict in the State.
State president of the Kerala Karshaka Sangham M. Vijayakumar said the increasing incidents of wild animal incursion in human habitats, resulting in the death of five persons over the past one month, had created an atmosphere of insecurity among residents of upland areas, including farmers. Animals like tigers and leopards had also attacked and killed several cattle, goats, and dogs while wild pigs, monkeys and even peacocks caused extensive damage to crops.
