The farmer says earlier this year, he requested if the Government could assist him with a sheep shed and fence but his application was unsuccessful.

He says with the current weather faced in the Northern Division, most of his livestock have found shelter in a hill where the landslide occurred.

fijivillage News has sent questions to the Permanent Secretary for Agriculture and is waiting for his response.
