Wildlife Damage: Medininagar forest division seeks Rs 38.59 Lakh compensation for crop & house losses

Wildlife damage to crops and homes in Daltonganj has led to a compensation demand of Rs 38.59 lakh. Nilgai and monkeys are identified as primary culprits, with monkeys also causing structural damage. Forest officials are promoting rotational grazing to curb livestock overgrazing, which pushes wildlife into farmlands, and suggesting pollarded trees as a food source for nilgai.
