He said that even Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has appealed that the Beel be saved and hoped that the efforts of 'Inside Northeast' will reach the local administration's notice.

The PRAG News Managing Editor also lamented that a lot of illegal activities are going on in and around the 'Beel'. "Dr. Parimal Bhattacharya, Professor, GU conducted a survey 1990. It revealed more than 200 species of birds living in there. Now, it has dwindled to less than a hundred", he said.
