Wild gecko chase in Northeast for fortune
Nagaland Post | Agencies | Kohima, Oct 7 ()
Jacob Sema is a school teacher in Nagaland but it has been over a month since he held his last class. He has been visiting the jungles in search of tokay geckos (a species of lizard) in a mad craze to become a millionaire overnight. According to DNA special report, like many others in the Northeast states of Assam, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram, Jacob is driven by rumours that a gecko at least 14 inches long and weighing a minimum of 200 grams can fetch up to Rs10 lakh in Southeast Asian market.
