  1. This is too much, the Wildlife Department should open their eyes and take the necessary steps to overcome this disease. Peacocks are not only beautiful birds but they have religious affiliations as well. It is also a way of bringing the tourists to visit Tharparkar.
    Would the Wildlife Department take notice and do the needful?
