Feral pig menace: 1.5K acres of maize crops damaged in Kovilpatti & Vilathikulam

Feral pigs, which are non-domesticated country pigs, raid farm fields in large groups and inflict severe damage to the crops. According to Subramanian, a farmer of Lingampatti, several crops in and around the village have been damaged by the pigs.

"Due to sufficient rainfall, maize crops had grown well and also started bearing corn. However, the feral pigs enter the fields in groups and destroy them recklessly," he said.
