“Increase compensation”: Priyanka Gandhi raises human-animal conflict in Wayanad
Hindustan TimesCongress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday raised the issue of human-animal conflict in her constituency Wayanad urging the ruling dispensation to raise the compensation for those affected by it. So, I would also like to ask that the compensation be increased, especially for farmers and ordinary people who are being affected by this conflict,” she asked in her maiden question during the Lok Sabha’s Question Hour during the ongoing winter session of the Parliament. According to Kerala government data, 915 people lost their lives while over 7,917 were injured in the last nine years in the state due to human-animal conflict. The agreement focuses on several key aspects, including identifying the root causes of human-wildlife conflicts, delineating conflict zones, streamlining intervention processes to minimise delays, facilitating rapid information exchange and sharing resources and services.
