Jaipur: Jaipur, the vibrant Pink City, is facing a rodent invasion of epic proportions forcing Jaipur develoment Authority (JDA) to lock two locations on September 30 and October 1.

To combat this burgeoning rat plague, JDA is deploying its own modern-day Pied Pipers, armed with a unique blend of technology and old-fashioned rat-catching tactics. The JDA officials, akin to the legendary Pied Piper of Hamelin, will be unleashing a two-day operation, starting at midnight on Sunday, September 30, to eradicate the rat menace from the two tourist spots. Their weapon of choice? A cunning combination of funnel traps and toxic baits.
The plan involves strategically placing specially designed funnels, equipped with pesticide-laced bait, directly inside rat burrows. These funnels, acting as a gateway to the toxic lure, prevent the chemical from spilling and encourage the rats to venture inside, ultimately sealing their fate. The operation, led by a team of ten JDA crews, will utilize a mixture of fodder, zinc phosphate, and edible oil to create irresistible bait for the rodents.
The JDA secretary, Nishant Jain, explained the urgency of the situation, empha.
