A rare and unexpected visitor caused quite a commotion in the Namdapara, third block area of Bongaigaon early this morning. A porcupine, a creature not commonly seen in these parts, was spotted wandering through the residential area.
Locals were startled by the unusual sight and quickly took action to contain the animal. After a brief chase, they managed to capture the porcupine, which was then secured safely.
The exact reason for the porcupine’s foray into the human settlement remains a mystery. While such incidents are rare, they often raise concerns about the delicate balance between human habitation and wildlife.
The forest department has been informed about the situation, but as of now, no officials have arrived at the scene. Locals are eagerly awaiting their arrival to ensure the porcupine is handled appropriately and released back into its natural habitat.
