A funny piece of news which has been doing rounds recently is villagers from Uttarakhand are using Honey Singh songs to scare away wild boars away from their fields. This could have been a good prank on April fool’s day, but the only thing is that it is not a prank and April fool’s day is still a couple of months away.
All this might sound bizarre, but farmers in Uttarakhand are using his music to shoo away the wild animals. This might come as a shock to some of Honey Singh’s fans, but it is true.
The wild boars have created such havoc at in the agricultural fields of Uttarakhand that the state government was forced to declare them as pests and sanction their culling. This did not make any significant impact as the beasts continued to be strong and evasive. This is when the farmers had a ‘Eureka’ moment when they decided to install loudspeakers in the agricultural land and play Honey Singh and other Punjabi singers’ music. This method seems to be working since the farmers are not troubled by wild boars anymore. And this method is not only limited to wild boars other animals too, have stopped entering the agricultural land.
Bishan Jatwal, who belongs to the Dhari village of the Nainital district, had the brainwave. He was the first one who had installed the speaker around his farmland, to protect his potato crop and it seemed to work. Slowly the whole village started doing this.
Surrounding villages also picked up the idea and soon it became the talk of the town. The set-up includes calculated installation of logs on which loudspeakers are mounted – which are then connected to music systems in houses closest to agricultural fields.
Kudos to Honey Singh!
