A large quantity of sea cucumber, an endangered species under the Wildlife Protection Act, has been seized from a fishing hamlet near Nagapattinam and one person arrested on the charge of stocking it with a plan to smuggle it to Sri Lanka.

Mangal Dehriya , a resident of Nainpur in Mandla district near Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh, has illegally kept a swamp deer in his house.
