rescue of hill mynahs, parakeets, munias and many more

[Guest guest]

Yesterday saw People For animals Guwahati very busy as all the volunteers set

out early in the morning to the Maligaon market and the Beltola market of

Guwahati city, fifteen hill mynahs were rescued from the Beltola market, out of

which, four of them not mature enough to fly were handed over to the State zoo,

all were without food etc for several hours together. Parakeets, munias and also

sparrows were rescued from Maligaon market last Friday (actually we came to know

that sparrows are cooked with chicken and served as Murg masala) there were

around hundred and more sparrows, I was wondering why the population of sparrows

were falling at this rate.

A large number of doves were at the same time rescued from the residence of

Akub Ali from Garigaon area,(where people say only gundas reside)our volunteers

are so daring that they do noy fear at all.He was biooked under the WPA and

remanded to the local jail. At jalukbari area PFA voluteers brought out six dead

goats from the closed dickey of a State Transport bus>(the goats died due to the

extreme heat and suffocation) the owner of the bus is absconding at this moment,

but a case was registered against the driver, Md.Muslim Ali. Pups were rescued

from a local shop at Maligaon they were kept in book shelves without space to

move and without water and food. Another case was registered at the Dispur PS

after a horse succunbed to death unable to carry a great load in this heat. The

owner of the horse was apprehended in time and dragged to the PS, he was some

Baldev Yadav. Now PFA is bent on preserving the natural beauty of a much sought

after wetlands close to the Guwahati city that is DEEPAR BEEL..
