While conducting its drive to check poaching of wild animals and birds, a team of Wildlife and Biodiversity Conservation Committee (WBCC) Manipur led by its president Rabi Takhellambam seized several bird traps from Ikop Pat, Khangabok and its adjacent areas on Thursday.
The bird traps reportedly trapped 4 birds of which 3 were already dead.
The live bird was released after giving proper treatment at a safe habitat.
Speaking to media persons, Rabi Takhellambam expressed concern on ever-increasing setting of bird trap by unknown miscreants.
He urged all concerned to stop such practice immediately to help maintained a balanced ecosystem.
The drive was also participated by Police personnel of Athokpam Outpost and several volunteers of WBCC.
