Shillong, Sept 4: A total of 9 dead piglets were found dumped by unknown miscreants in the drain along the adjoining walls of NEIGRIHMS Nicholas J. Kharnami aka RJ Nicky J, raising major concerns after which he had called the members of the Dorbar Shnong Mawkasiang.
In a social media post, Nicholas, an environmental crusader, raised this as a serious health issue of how ignorant people cane be to just dump dead animals without giving them a proper burial.
Interestingly, one of the piglets even had a tag which has raised the question – if these were the piglets that were being distributed under the Meghalaya Backyard Piggery Mission, a special scheme launched by the Government of Meghalaya to help the farmers.
Such attitude by the concerned beneficiaries to just dump government schemes is a major concern and a loss to public property, commented Nicholas in his post.
Meanwhile, sources told Hub News that the recklessness of the truck driver resulted in the dead piglets being dumped on the road side.
The local MLA and the Rangbah Shnong have been briefed about the incident by the Director of Animal Husbandry department and apologized for the ‘stupidity’ of the driver, sources added.
Meanwhile, various sections of social media have raised hue and cry over the fact that these might have been sick piglets given by the government. At the same time, many are demanding arrest of the culprits.
