Thoubal, August 06 2020:
To celebrate his 28th birthday, member of Joint Co-Ordination Committee on Wildlife & Biodiversity (JCCWB), Ksh Johnson Singh today fed the monkeys of Mahabali.
Ksh Johnson Singh expressed that the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown has not only affected people but wildlife as well, including the monkeys of Mahabali.
To help sustain these monkeys for survival, the initiative to feed them was taken, he added.
On the other hand, care taker of the monkeys of Mahabali, B Gyaneshwar Sharma expressed to the members of the committee that news circulated on local press notes saying the monkeys do not have sufficient food is rather unfortunate, as help from the Manipur Forest Department, general public and wildlife based organisations continue to pour in for these animals.
B Gyaneshwar Sharma also thanked all those who have been providing food for the monkeys of Mahabali.
