Rescue teams have spotted the
black-necked stork with a plastic ring stuck around its beak in the Basai
wetland in a daylong attempt at sighting. The bird is reported it to be in good
health despite its inability to eat or drink, raising fears of dehydration due
to severe heat.
Three rescue teams are
coordinating operations to trap the bird so that the ring is removed before it
is too late. Additional Principal Conservator of Forests Vinod Kumar said the
teams had moved closer to their rescue mission, that was suspended on Monday
evening and would resume on Tuesday.
Environment Minister Vipul Goel
assured all help to various teams involved in the rescue. He instructed
officials to leave nothing to chance and involve other experts, if required, in
saving the life of the bird. He said the government was considering serious
action against the plastic dump owner whose negligence and violation of
pollution norms had endangered wildlife.
