Bihar's pig saga continues. After first deciding to shoot pigs at sight, then overturning it and suggesting they be sent to forests instead, authorities here have now declared that tenders would be floated to catch them.
"We have decided to float a tender to get rid of pigs," said KP Ramaiah, Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) commissioner.
Ridding the capital of the porcine menace is a challenge and the new head of Patna's civic body is determined to take it on.
"We will hand over the task of removing pigs to an expert hand after realising that it is hard to do the job ourselves," Ramaiah said.
"The presence of stray pigs on roads and streets mars the impression of a city, so they have to go," he said.
Ramaiah has even been seen with a stick in his hand to shoo away stray pigs. But to no avail unfortunately. "It was not easy to catch them," he admitted.
