PUNE: Over 700 Ahmednagar Road residents on Saturday morning shaped a human chain from Gunjan Chowk to Shastrinagar Chowk and walked to protect the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary from the haphazard implementation of infrastructure tasks, including the Metro rail, within the space.
The experts and bird watchers forming the human chain stressed out that the sanctuary was once alive as over a 100 birds, including 35 species of migratory birds and 30 species of butterflies have been recently noticed there.
An skilled taking part within the human chain mentioned, “Projects such as the Shivne-Kharadi Road and the Metro, which can be proposed within the neighborhood, will damage the sanctuary and birds’ nests to a large extent. The habitat must be protected from further damages.”
Schoolchildren and senior voters participated within the protest in significant numbers. They appealed to the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to present urgent attention to the protection of all of the space and chalk out a plan to broaden it in some way which is secure for the birds.
Darmaraj Patil, an ornithologist and the coordinator of the event, mentioned the voters’ reaction was once overwhelming.
“We are not opposing the infrastructure tasks, but their implementation should be planned without disturbing the herbal habitat, which is also an oxygen park for the town. Making of the road and Metro in the middle of the world will bog down the character. It will block the birds’ flying house and the chopping of bushes will damage their nesting puts,” Patil mentioned.
“Instances of unlawful chopping of bushes were reported within the space. The PMC will have to be proactive to save lots of the world from further injury,” Patil mentioned, adding that folks have been in a position to sign up for palms.
The residents and bird watchers have shaped a discussion board to take more than a few steps to protect the world’s biodiversity. It will hang talks with the PMC about the protection of the sanctuary and fending off disruptions by means of implementing infrastructure tasks.
Meghana Baphna, any other coordinator of the Saturday’s match, mentioned, “The stretch from Aga Khan bridge to the Yerawada bridge is the one inexperienced patch left within the space and it must be protected. Sadly, there was rampant unlawful chopping of bushes. The authorities should suppose in an artistic means about building without destroying such the most important inexperienced patches,” she mentioned.
Civic activist Satish Khot mentioned the fairway belt should be protected from further damages.
He mentioned, “The Metro should be planned through different stretches as an alternative of Kalyaninagar and the riverside.”
