Coir-made nests, sourced from Coimbatore, are put on trees
A group of volunteers have come forward to provide a shelter to urban birds, displaced due to the cutting of trees on the road margins as part of the widening works of 9.2 km stretch of State Highway 32 in Anantapur.
The group, calling itself ‘Discover Ananthapuramu’ and popularising its activities on social media platforms, has embarked on a mission to put up 2,000 nests on existing trees. Led by social activist Anil Kumar Reddy, these youngsters have been fixing nests on all trees along the route where they were cut for the past three days.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
