Parks And Birds

Artificial lights of various parks of Kolkata overwhelming birds. Electric lights of about 50ft high posts snatching sleeps of birds. Hence, they are deciding to go elsewhere. The Mayor of Kolkata directed his officials to reorient the lights of parks. The birds who use to sleep in complete dark, feeling disturbed by the high power lights falling on trees and flying blindly to re-search their nests. So, Kolkata Municipal Corporation decided to install dimmer and 'timer' at the parks so that, high power lights will be off after 9pm and height of the posts will also be reduced. -- A. B.
