Animals crossing over from Pak: Farmer leader writes to HM Shah on crop damage

Hindustan Times  

Vice president of Punjab Border Area Kisan Union Surjit Singh Bhoora has written a letter to Union home minister Amit Shah apprising him of the losses suffered by farmers in border villages due to animals who crossover from Pakistan. Every year, animals that crossover from Pakistan damage the ripened crops on India side. “In Punjab’s six districts falling along the international border, the farmers have 21300 acres of land situated between the zero line and barbed security fence. During this year, Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit visited the border belt twice but Punjab government officials did not arrange any meeting of the border farmers with him.
