The police have unearthed a narcotics ring in the city and recovered ₹1 crore worth of drugs from a Nigerian national, who was allegedly part of the racket. Acting on a tip-off about a drug peddler, a team from the Anti-Narcotics Wing of the Central Crime Branch raided a rented accommodation at Kammanahalli on Saturday and recovered 500 gm of MDMA crystals and 400 MDMA tablets worth about ₹1 crore from the house. The police arrested the Nigerian national in whose possession the drugs were found. Investigations have revealed that the accused had come to India on a tourist visa and was staying with another Nigerian national in Mumbai. Both of them were reportedly peddling drugs. The Santa Cruz police in Mumbai had booked the duo in a narcotics case earlier.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
