In Lanja taluka, due to the presence of Kolsudyas (wild boars) in some villages, the amount of damage caused to paddy fields by wild boars has reduced. Due to this, the number of monkeys and wild boars damaging the agriculture is less, the farmers said. When contacted, Lanja forester Fakir said that this carnivorous wild dog living in herds, known by many local names like Rankutra, Kolshinde, Kolsunde, Kolisnam, Kolsun, Sonkutra, lives in the thick forests of Sahyadri. The forest department has been alerted about the existence of wild dogs. www.konkantoday.com
