Catching Giant African Snails in ward 12 (Public Welfare ward) of the Muhamma grama panchayat in Alappuzha has two benefits. It can prevent the invasive species, which present a big threat to the local flora, from ravaging crops; while snail-catchers stand a chance to win the State government’s Thiruvonam Bumper lottery, the first prize being a whopping ₹12 crore. A year-long campaign, titled ‘Snail-free village,’ is being conducted in the ward to tackle the snail menace and authorities there recently offered lottery tickets costing ₹300 each to 10 highest snail catchers to tempt the residents to join the initiative.
