2 threatened gecko lizards have actually been saved and 3 individuals were apprehended for presumably trafficking the animals in Assam’s Chirang district on Tuesday.
Performing on a tip-off, a group of Seema Sashastra Bal (SSB) workers saved the geckos from 3 individuals who were bringing them from Agia in Goalpara district.
The geckos and the 3 culprits were later on turned over to authorities of the Forest department in the Kukling location of Chirang district; thus consequently jailing the trio.
In Southeast Asia, geckos are thought to have actually come down from dragons and are thought about as a sign of good luck and fertility. The animal is poached for standard medical functions in Southeast Asian nations.
