high-voltage power lines

Sr. Adv. Shyam Divan told the court that Kutch in Gujarat and Thar in Rajasthan are the prior areas where the Great Indian Bustard Bird's habitat lies. He also prayed from the court that diverters should be installed in the proximity area where the birds fly.

The Court was hearing the matter of the deaths of a large number of Great Indian Bustards due to collisions with high-voltage power lines. The plea has been filed by retired IAS officer M.K. Ranjitsinh.
