Kumaon mountains welcome migratory birds

As these feathered visitors arrive for their seasonal visit, the Forest Department is taking significant steps to ensure their safety.

According to sources in the forest department, "Patrols are being conducted by boat in the larger lakes to prevent any hunting incidents."

These measures are part of a comprehensive plan aimed at safeguarding the birds during their stay in the region.

The arrival of these migratory guests has been a highlight this winter.

Himanshu Bagri, the Divisional forest officer (DFO) of Eastern Terai, told TNIE, "Every year during the winter, these migratory birds travel approximately 6,000 to 10,000 kilometers from Europe, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, and Siberia to reach various locations, including Gularbhoj, Sharda, Baigul, Nanakmatta, Dhura, and Ramnagar.
