With the commencement of corona lockdown, the globe has witnessed a massive decline in the pollution level which attracts the migratory birds to travel to different parts of the country.

In order to provide a comfort zone to these birds, an organisation- 'Green Tiger' has started arranging food and water for these migratory birds.

Every morning they roam around different parts of the city and recharge the containers with freshwater and grains.

Speaking to ETV Bharat, Tarun Vaidya said, "We have started this move a month ago. We have collected scrap materials from the garbage accumulating centre and make a container which can accommodate 2 litres of water and grain. We have made the container in such a way that a bird can easily drink water."
