"I've hired a person for Rs 500 a day to wear the costume and walk around the field to keep the animals away," he told a news agency.
Many on internet found the daily wage amusing and explained how many IT companies pay similar wages to their employees.
It is difficult to ward off monkeys and boars so this idea is quite practical actually. 👍👍
