SRINAGAR: A porcupine that has been causing damage to the trees and orchards in the village of Gurwait Kalan in the Khansahib area of Budgam district has been caught by Hilal Ahmad Najar, a local resident.

Najar was able to do so on his own, prompting some locals to question why the department had not been more effective. The residents reported spotting over a dozen porcupines in the area, all of which have been causing damage to crops and vegetation.

“We appeal wildlife department to rescue us from this havoc of porcupines” locals said.
