The South Western Railway, Mysuru division, has cautioned people against movement of people and livestock in and around Doddabydarahalli firing range in Mandya district from December 1 to 3.
In a statement here, the Railways said that the Railway Protection Force (RPF) will be conducting the second phase of annual range classification target practice between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m.
“Therefore the neighbouring villagers are hereby requested to avoid movement of people and livestock in the area to avoid any untoward incident”, the statement said.
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).
