Hyderabad : Andhra
Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha's wife and other bird
lovers were Sunday prevented from releasing birds at the KBR National Park
here.
The forest department
officials stopped Padmini and other activists from releasing the caged birds
into the park.
They along with school
students had gathered in the park for a walk to demand an end to cruelty towards
birds. They also brought with them dozens of pigeons and other birds in cages
to release them.
The forest department
personnel argued that their action may harm the native birds in the park.
An official said as the
birds released by the activists may be infected, they may spread the diseases
to the birds already living in the park.
Earlier, holding
placards, the activists demanded that all the birds in the confinement be
released.
Padmini demanded action
to end cruelty towards birds belonging to several species and caged at
different places in the city, especially at Murgi Chowk in the old city.
