Pest control and crop protection

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 30 November 2011 This query is : Resolved
Wild boars destroying standing crops and causing huge financial loss on daily basis.

Lodged a general diary at Police Station to take necessary steps to ensure crop protection for standing crops. Also written the same to local Chief Wildlife Warden, along with copy of general diary given to police, seeking to take steps to ensure crop protection for standing crops and for permission under Section 11(b) of The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 to shoot the wild boars for crop protection.

No action taken by State to ensure crop protection for standing crops neither issued permission to shoot the wild boars. Financial loss continuing on daily basis due to wild boars destroying standing crops.

1) If farmer shoots the wild boars on his farmland now, what is the offense?

2) Can farmer claim to State to compensate the financial loss because it was failure on part of State even after it was intimated to ensure crop protection for standing crops?

Thank you all for your valuable comments.

"With out prior permission of the Chief Wildlife Warden or the authorized officer
you can not shoot."

Will the Chief Wildlife Warden or the authorized officer compensate for the huge financial loss caused due to their daily delay in issuing permission? Any remedy for financial loss?
