To save Indian Skimmer, MP tells Rajasthan not to open dam gates

To save the Indian Skimmer, an endangered bird found in the National Chambal Wildlife Sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh has requested Rajasthan not to discharge water from its three dams on Chambal River till the first week of June. The reason for concern -- unhabited islands in the downstream, where these birds lay eggs, get inundated when large volumes of water is released.
