PUTRAJAYA: The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) will install animal traps at the Alamanda shopping centre here, following the intrusion of a wild boar on Sunday, to prevent the incident from recurring.
In a statement yesterday, Perhilitan said that it will also work with the Putrajaya Corporation (PPj) to increase monitoring in the area.
"PPj and the management of the Alamanda shopping centre will also improve waste management to prevent the intrusion of wild boars in the future," he said.
On Dec 6, a wild boar wreaked havoc when it entered the mall, and a video clip showing the animal roaming inside a sports outlet went viral on social media.
Perhilitan also said that an investigation it conducted with the PPj wildlife division revealed that the wild boar had come from an area near the lake in Presint 16, here, where it was believed to have strayed from its herd. - Bernama
