Jabalpur, June 17: A couple in Madhya Pradesh deployed four guards and six dogs to guard two Miyazaki mango trees. Notably, Japanese Miyazaki mangoes are the most expensive type of mangoes in the world. Sankalp Parihas and his wife Rani are residents of Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur district. The orchardist couple planted two mango saplings given by a man years ago.
According to a report published in Hindustan Times, the couple did not have any idea that these saplings would grow into ruby-coloured mangoes. The couple deployed four guards and six dogs as last year thieves broke into their orchard to steal mangoes after reports surfaced that they were growing Miyazaki mangoes.
