GUJRANWALA: A person is reported to be satiating his hunger with leaves of trees since the last 25 years due to poverty.

According to media reports Mahmood Butt resident of Gujranwala developed the habit of eating tree leaves and wood 25 years back because he found no job or outlet to earn a honest his livelihood.

Giving details how he developed this different habit, he said that sheer poverty gripped his family and the bread and butter was out of his reach. It was very difficult for him to have a meal with roti and chappati, therefore, he preferred to eat leaves and wood than begging.

According to further reports, when Mahmood Butt found a job which enabled him to satisfy his huger with roti it became difficult for him to depart with habit of eating leaves and wood.

His neighbour Ghulam Muhammad said that now he earns Rs 600 daily but even then he keeps staring to search for leaves. Wherever he finds branches of tree he stops his donkey cart and starts eating leaves.
