One of the users tried to divert the mind of all towards the animal-human conflict which took a dip due to the Coronavirus lockdown. Highlighting the issue, he said that after the lockdown gets over the conflict issue is going to increase. He requested Susanta to cater to this issue and bring it forward to the concerned officials.
After the lockdown is over there will be increase in human animal conflicts, govt should start a health initiative for the thousands of volunteers of registered NGOs doing animal rescue works through out India. Sir please bring issue to govt. notice.
