    Prisoner Sanjay Kumar reprimands KCR for insulting PV

    Hyderabad: State BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Wednesday accused Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao of dishonouring former Prime Minister late P V Narasimha Rao by not paying tributes to him on his birth and death anniversaries.

    “During the last MLC elections, KCR invoked the name of P V Narasimha Rao to garner votes of Brahmins. After winning the elections, he stopped attending the birth and death anniversaries of the former Prime Minister,” Sanjay alleged, after paying tributes to Narasimha Rao at the PV Ghat at Necklace Road on his 102nd birth anniversary. He said that Narasimha Rao was a polyglot and an intellectual par excellence. He found fault with the Congress party for ignoring Narasimha Rao at a time when the entire country was paying tributes to him on his birth anniversary. He appealed to the Brahmin community to be wary of politics of KCR. He always plays politics of betrayal, he criticised.

    Bandi alleged that is was shameful on the part of CM KCR not to react on the statements of MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi and his brother Akbaruddin Owaisi that they would pull down the PV Ghat. He also sought to know as to why KCR was not bringing pressure on the Centre to honour Narasimha Rao with Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award in the country.

  • Endangered bird breeding at dolphin sanctuary on banks of river Ganga

    Endangered bird breeding at dolphin sanctuary on banks of river Ganga

    Patna: The Bihar Forest department has discovered the first breeding site of endangered Indian skimmers — also known as Indian scissors bill (Rynchops albicollis) birds — in the Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary (VGDS), in Bhagalpur district, an official said.

    Seven Indian skimmers, an endangered bird species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) list, were spotted in VGDS, Bhagalpur, last month, the official said. “This is for the first time that the breeding site of rare Indian skimmers has been discovered in Bihar. There were a total of four eggs… one was destroyed because of the weather conditions, but currently, three chicks have been hatched. The hatching took place after an incubation period of 20 to 30 days. We have further increased the protection measures so that they get a safe ground. Officials are monitoring them round the clock,” Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests & Chief Wildlife Warden, P K Gupta said on Wednesday.

    “The sanctuary is a 60-km stretch of the Ganga river from Sultanganj to Kahalgaon in the Bhagalpur district and it was notified as Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary in 1991. This is for the first time that Indian skimmers were observed in Bihar,” Gupta said.

    Forest department officials and VGDS are closely monitoring the movements and behaviour of all seven rare birds and three hatchlings, he said, adding that the presence of Indian skimmers have been earlier observed at very few locations in India. Researchers and bird lovers will now be engaged to study the breeding behaviour of these rare birds in detail and also the ecological factors that contribute to their survival, said Gupta.

    “State Forest department officials are excited and delighted that the department’s conservation efforts for migratory birds are producing positive and successful results”, Gupta said. The conservation of migratory bird species presents many challenges, as these birds rely on multiple geographically distinct habitats, including breeding grounds, he added.
