National wildlife board gives nod to more power lines through flamingo sanctuary

Sparking concerns over the safety of Mumbai’s flamingos, the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) has sanctioned additional transmission towers and power lines passing through the Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary (TCFS). For the safety of the flamingos, the power company has been mandated to take some precautions, including the use of ‘bird flight diverters’ and ‘bird reflectors’ to avoid collision or electrocution.
