The Hindu
ATS to question him further
The Thalassery Sessions Court on Monday extended the custody of suspected Maoist leader B.G. Krishnamurthy till November 29.
Mr. Krishnamurthy, who hails from Chikmagalur in Karnataka, is reportedly a central committee member and secretary of the Western Ghat Zonal Committee. He has been in the custody of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for the past one week.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
