With summer time setting in, massive earthen water bowls and small feeding troughs for birds are being positioned at the Superintendent of Police (SP) places of work and at all police stations in Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupattur and Tiruvannamalai districts.
The initiative is aimed at offering water to group birds that do not need entry to contemporary consuming water. It helps to forestall birds from dying because of dehydration. “As most police stations have many trees within their premises, they are always home to small wild birds. The initiative of providing water and feed for birds at police stations was started a few days ago. It will continue till June,” S. Rajesh Kannan, SP, Vellore, informed The Hindu.
At current, 113 police stations are positioned in these districts with Tiruvannamalai having the best quantity at 39 police stations, adopted by Vellore at 28, Ranipet at 24 and Tirupattur at 22. Police writers have been assigned the duty of sustaining the water bowls and feeding troughs at the stations in these districts.
Each station, on a median, is to have at least two water bowls and feeding troughs on its terrace. These are to be refilled twice a day, mornings and evenings. At SP places of work, 4 water bowls and feeding troughs, maintained from the dispensary fund of the stations, have been positioned.
