Tackle intrusion of wild animals in residential areas: Speaker

The Speaker of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Kavinder Gupta, today asked the government to take appropriate action for minimising the intrusion of wild animals in residential areas in both the divisions of the state.
The directions were passed after MLA Usman Majid raised the issue in the House during Zero Hour.
