Awareness camp to protect Guwahati's famous wetland Deepor Beel

Guwahati, Oct 18 (ANI): Situated in Kamrup District of Assam, the Deepor Beel is one of the famous wetlands of the region, and is home to several species of birds. However, due to continuous human interference and a high level of pollution, the condition of the wetland has deteriorated. To spread awareness about the need to protect the wetland and the harmful impact of using plastic, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) recently organised a camp in Guwahati. Students from the Sankardev Niketan participated in the camp and raised awareness through songs, folk dances and slogans. The wetland, that has also been declared a bird sanctuary, is a part of the Asian Wetland Directory, and was also declared a Ramsar site in 2002. The site attracts large number of visitors, including research scholars, students and tourists. About 122 species of seasonal, migratory and residential birds visit the beel every year. This large water body also houses a wide variety of amphibians, reptiles, insects and tree species. Owing to frequent killing of birds, unchecked fishing and encroachment, it has become imperative to take necessary steps for its protection. Oct 18, 2013

Ashmit Patel used to wash my lingerie: Veena Malik

New Delhi, Oct 16 (ANI): The controversy queen, Veena Malik who will be next seen in the upcoming movie 'Supermodel' along with her ex-boyfriend Ashmit Patel says that Ashmit used to wash her lingerie in the Big Boss house. When asked if her cold war affected the quality of their chemistry on-screen, she said, "No, the chemistry was much stronger. When you have that connect with the past, and now you guys don't talk to each other, the pent up emotions find a way out. Once that connect is there, it is always there. You cannot just erase it. It was obviously there. It wasn't shown on Bigg Boss, but Ashmit too loved me a lot. He used to wash my lingerie too and would even take my outbursts calmly. Sometimes, I would even hit him with my high-heels. Episodes aired only showed me washing his undies, but that wasn't the case as the affection was mutual." Oct 16, 2013
