Wasim Akram, deputy director (special projects) for Wildlife SOS, said,“ Rescue operations involving injured birds need to be handled carefully to ensure that the bird does not experience any further stress. The bird’s left wing was severely injured, and it might not have survived without prompt action.”

Kalindi Kunj is a part of Phase III of the Delhi Metro and is on the Magenta Line.

“Kalindi Kunj is close to the Yamuna bank and thus attracts numerous bird species. The bird which got stuck on the tracks is a local migratory species that moves towards the Yamuna during the winter months,” explained Kartick Satyanarayan, CEO & co-founder at Wildlife SOS.
