It is reported that residents of several villages in Anuradhapura protested the persecution of wild animals last night (14th) by lighting firecrackers.
It is reported that the residents of the villages No. 186 Yakalla, Thulana, Mahasengama, Palugollagama, Vembuwewa, Udakallagama, Mahasenpura and other villages belonging to the Ritigala Wildlife Zone have protested.
The villagers request that the responsible parties look into this matter and provide a permanent solution as the aliens that are invading the villages from the direction of the Huruluwewa Reserve and the Habarana Reserve are destroying lives, houses, properties, and farmlands.
