Pollution Threatens Turtle Habitat in Haryana’s Kajalheri Sanctuary
The Kajalheri pond in Haryana's Fatehabad, once a sanctuary for 150-200 rare turtles, is now polluted by untreated sewage, causing health issues and forcing turtles to flee. Activist Vaishali Rana has filed a complaint alleging negligence by wildlife officials and local authorities for failing to prevent sewage discharge and protect nesting sites. The Forest Department acknowledges the problem and plans to divert wastewater and enhance habitat protection to safeguard the turtles and their environment.
