Mounting garbage attracts wild boars in Coonoor

COONOOR: In an unfortunate development in the hill town of Coonoor, the mounting garbage in the municipal limits has begun to attract wild boars into the arterial part of the town. Though the district administration in Nilgiris has paid enough attention to implement solid-waste management scheme in the hills to keep the hills neat and tidy, the way in which the garbage is being accumulating in the road sides here in Coonoor showed the lax attitude of the municipal administration in Coonoor and the lethargic attitude of the sanitary wing. The municipal administration should have a monitoring mechanism to ensure that every day the garbage collection vehicles visit each and every street to collect the wastes" a resident in Coonoor said. Meanwhile, animal activists here in the hills warned that wild boars will naturally turn ferocious and begin to attack if it happened to encounter human beings in close quarters.
