Incessant rain lashed Bidar and Kalaburagi throughout Monday night throwing life out of gear in many places.
The overflowing Kagina submerged the Malkhed Bridge in Sedam taluk cutting off road connectivity between Kalaburagi and Sedam.
The river has also submerged other bridges, including one near Dandoti in Chittapur taluk, disrupting road transportation between Kalaburagi and many villages and towns. The Kamalavathi was also overflowing on Tuesday morning.
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).
