Over 28,000 birds found in Sultanpur national park during 2nd statewide bird count

More than 28,000 birds of 124 different species were spotted in Sultanpur National Park during the second statewide bird count, the state wildlife department said on Sunday.

Gurugram Circle’s Forest (Wildlife) Chief Conservation Officer MS Malik said besides Sultanpur Park, bird counts were also conducted at Bhindawas Bird Sanctuary and Najafgarh Jheel as well as other wetlands in the state.

“A total of 28,026 birds of 126 different species can be seen in Sultanpur Park alone. The number of birds observed at other sites is still being recorded,” Malik said.

He said the bird count began in Sultanpur at 9.30am on Sunday.

“The information gleaned from these statistics will help us plan better wildlife management strategies,” Malik said.

Some of the birds observed in Sultanpur Park on Sunday included great spotted eagles, kestrels, white-tailed mallards, black-tailed sandpipers and others, forest department officials said.

“Over 28,000 birds were spotted in Sultanpur National Park during Sunday’s bird count. The focus was on Ramsar wetlands, but bird counts were conducted in all wetlands in the state. Seeing so many species shows that The habitat is in good condition and this will help us maintain baseline data,” said Rajesh Chahal, Gurugram Wildlife Inspector.

In the 2020 winter baseline count, 213 bird species were observed in Gulgram.

In August last year, Sultanpur National Park was listed as Ramsar Wetland – a wetland of international importance declared by the Federal Ministry of Environment. The Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary has also been notified as Ramsar Wetland, making the two sanctuaries the first of their kind in Haryana.

Experts say such bird populations are a welcome move because they help create a database that can be further used to improve habitats or wetlands.

Pankaj Gupta, a bird watcher at the Delhi Bird Foundation, said: “It is a good thing to have a statewide bird count as it helps to create an official database that can be used to protect and protect wetlands in the future. This year, It was interesting to see birds such as Great Brine and Penduline Tit in the wetlands around Sultanpur as they have been spotted regularly since the past two months, which is not common in Delhi NCR.”

Nikhil Devasar, founder of the Delhi Birds Foundation, said: “It is good news to see 124 species of birds in Sultanpur National Park alone. On average, more than 100 different species can be seen during morning bird walks “It’s just the number of protected areas, there are definitely more birds in the wetlands outside the boundaries of the protected areas.”

Amitabh Bachchan: Shocking Fan Incident Outside Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan Fan Faints After Hours of Torturous Waiting

The weekly Sunday rite outside the renowned gates of Jalsa is nothing short of profoundly holy. For decades, thousands of deeply moved admirers have gathered like clockwork, hoping for a single glimpse of the iconic megastar.

Yesterday evening, that fierce commitment took a scary and sad turn. A middle-aged guy, who had been standing patiently in the scorching midday sun for more than four hours, collapsed unexpectedly.

He collapsed totally into profound sleep, landing directly on the harsh, unforgiving asphalt road. The happy, chanting crowd fell silent in an instant as reality hit in.

A Heartbreaking Moment of Desperation

According to eyewitnesses, this enthusiast travelled across various states for a two-minute glimpse of his idol. His quivering hands clutched a framed vintage photograph of the superstar.

As the searing midday heat reached its zenith, acute dehydration and utter physical fatigue overtook his body. His feeble knees bowed under the crushing weight of his never-ending, frantic wait.

He fell face first to the ground before anyone could react or grab him. The enormous crowd’s collective, frightened gasp boomed over Juhu’s normally peaceful suburban streets.

Sudden Chaos Outside Jalsa’s Gates

Within seconds, total fear spread among the observers. Fellow supporters quickly dropped their homemade banners and posters, coming to the fallen man’s rescue. Someone desperately sprayed cold water upon his pale, sweating face.

The large security crew stationed outside Amitabh Bachchan’s home acted quickly. They were able to remove the rising, panicked crowd, allowing the choking sufferer to breathe easier.

An emergency ambulance was dispatched immediately, while local volunteers attempted to revive him. In a few startling moments, the atmosphere went from exhilarating exhilaration to total horror.

The Relentless Sunday Evening Madness

Every Sunday evening, the veteran actor gracefully goes onto a high podium at his grand gates. It is a renowned custom that has completely defined Bollywood fan culture over generations.

Passionate admirers will miss meals, risk heavy monsoons, and suffer harsh summer heat waves only to see him wave. It is a profound, emotional bond that defies all reasonable logic.

For this heartbreakingly loyal admirer, the powerful emotional rush combined with severe physical tiredness proved to be a highly perilous, almost lethal combination on the boiling, sweltering concrete.

Security Personnel Scramble to Prevent Tragedy

Local police officers responded promptly to the chaotic scene, attempting to manage the emotionally charged throng. Medical staff administered quick, vital first aid on the scene, examining his critically weak and decreasing pulse.

The comatose man was gingerly put onto a canvas stretcher, still clutching his prized, sweat-soaked image of the actor. He was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

On-duty medics eventually confirmed that he had severe heatstroke and acute, life-threatening dehydration. Fortunately, his medical condition improved after he received repeated IV infusions and intensive, appropriate care.

A Stark Warning for Star-Worshippers

This terrible, tragic episode has generated a heated, much-needed debate about the extreme limits of celebrity worship in India. Blind passion should never result in the death of an innocent person.

Jalsa is an undisputed historical monument to love, but yesterday it served as a grim, sobering lesson. Extreme physical endurance for a brief moment can easily result in a catastrophic medical tragedy.

As thousands of passionate individuals continue to flow to Mumbai every day, the fine line between beautiful appreciation and life-threatening devotion becomes increasingly, dangerously blurred for these fragile worshippers.

Terrifying Boundaries of Human Obsession

The burning passion that motivates these ordinary folks to risk their own health is both wonderful and scary. It emphasises the megastar’s immense, godlike influence over millions of hearts.

While the legendary actor continues to express love to his devoted fans, this dangerous occurrence demonstrates that safety should always come first. No fan should have to bleed or faint on the street in order to catch a passing shadow.
