Protecting Wildlife
The death of eight elephants in Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, likely due to consuming fungus-infected kodo millet, underscores a profound and growing challenge in India’s conservation landscape.
President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday unveiled the statue of noted social reformer Nanaji Deshmukh at an ayurveda health care centre here.
Kovind arrived here in Satna district on a day-long visit to Madhya Pradesh along with Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
He later unveiled the statue of Deshmukh in the premises of ‘Aarogyadham’, an official statement said.
