Jairam Blasts Gehlot Over Dry Bharatpur Sanctuary

“Availability of water (source, quantum and timing) has remained a serious issue for effective management of the park," Ramesh wrote to the Rajasthan Chief Minister even as he referred to a number of solutions that were considered to address the water management issues and for which Planning Commission funds had been provided. “But the situation on ground continues to remain grim," he lamented.

“For the last two years, at least 15 species of birds have either not come to visit the sanctuary or bred here, owing largely to the water crisis. It's just a matter of days when the park will be out of the Unesco's World Heritage list," Ramesh cautioned Gehlot. Read the full report here.
