In Uttarkashi village, farmers are spending more on protecting crops than growing them

Farmers in Uttarkashi's Hurri village are struggling to protect their crops from wild animals, mainly langurs, and are spending significant amounts on private guards. Each family needs to arrange Rs 15,000, exceeding cultivation costs and earnings. The horticulture and forest departments plan to install solar-powered fencing, but villagers are unaware of the scheme.
