BIRDS SET FREE
But for a timely court order, 500 birds which were illegally captured would have been sold in Delhi on August 7. Following a tip-off, an eight-member team of the forest and wildlife department of the Delhi government raided a house in east Delhi and recovered the birds kept in six cages. The captured birds were produced hi the court of additional chief metropolitan magistrate, J R Aryan. The court ordered the birds to be set free in their natural habitat in the Kamla Nehru Ridge in Delhi.
