Monkeys raiding cultivations face air rifle attack

By J. Anthony, Ratnapura corr

The Ratnapura District Agricultural Committee has decided to issue air rifles to farmers whose cultivations are being destroyed by monkeys. The decision was taken by the committee headed by Ratnapura District Secretary Sunil Kannangara after receiving a spate of complaints from cultivators. Kannangara told The Island that cultivators in five divisions had already been issued with air rifles and the others would be given the weapon soon.

The government would train cultivators to handle air rifles, the DS said.
