Taking serious note of the water crisis in deep forests in Bidar district, Swabhimana Geleyara Balaga has swung into action to quench the thirst of wild animals this year too.
A team consisting of nearly 30 youths has dug saucer pits, constructed artificial ponds and concrete rings to store drinking water for animals.
Swabhimana Geleyara Balaga president Chandrakant Padshetty told The Hindu that due to persistent heat wave and high temperature, water ponds and natural water reservoirs have dried during the summer.
