Bird habitat gone to the dumps [1]

Mumbai: A home to winged visitors to the city is on the verge of destruction.

Around 60-hectare wetland near Phunde village in Uran, just 60 km away from Mumbai, has almost vanished posing a grave threat to the very existence of the migratory birds. Uran is known for rich avifauna like flamingos, painted storks, oriental white ibis, grey heron and others.
