JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Some people are arbitrarily hunting a rare bird locally called “Sach” in Jalalabad city, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province, residents say, fearing the specie’s extinction.
Nangarhar Environment Protection Department officials say hunting birds and other wild animals is banned and ask security forces to assist them in this regard.
Zubair Ahmad, a shopkeeper at Pashtunistan square of Jalalabad, told Pajhwok Afghan News some people were seen with airguns in the city once again hunting Sach birds.
He said: “These hunters are usually seen under trees in different parts of the city to hunt Sach birds”.
