At a time, when 'Swaccha Bharat Abhiyan' has taken a drive in all over India by rolling in major celebrities and political figures, ideas like open defecation is out of mind to wonder.

Sadly, echoing the slogan of 'Jahan soch, waha shauchalaya' has made no impact among backward societies, in fact, our cleanliness is being compromised like every other day.

Could you imagine: our capital of the nation, possibly, be a victim of turd dumpers? Yah, it is actually true. A vacant military land in the heart of Delhi, near the locality of holy grail for legislatures, in Vidhan Sabha has been turned into poopers land. Don't be amazed. The deserted tract is surrounded by slum clusters. Due to non habitation for over a decade, it has taken the shape of a small green forest. If by happen any chance, you get to visit Vidhan Sabha, please do not forget to take a sight-seeing of the land cum forest, sprawled in acres in the backyard of Vidhan Sabha bus station, situated on the main road.

I have encountered different species of birds, and most prominent of all, I have spotted a bunch of peacocks. Although it was the last time I spotted, perhaps, the royal feathers were poached by slum dwellers, the very next day.

I have no sympathy for people living in slums because they prioritize their bread over committing crimes. For making a fair living, they would not mind in killing an innocent bird.

Moreover, they do not understand the significance of wild life. They are just barbaric, and I am reiterating this because I have witnessed their horrific action against birds and animals.

I do not understand what makes them feel so saturated in bullying birds by throwing stones at them. With the increasing menace of mushrooming cities, the existence of forests are dwindling.

The earth is not only for human beings, floras and faunas are also an integral part of life cycle in playing a key role in balancing the ecology. How are we going to contain environmental pollution, when the basic source of environment is fading away.

In short, the forest area is very rampant among slum dwellers for open defecation, poaching of pigs for slaughter, catapulting stones at birds (actually rare), cutting down the woods for household cooking purposes, and many more inhuman objectives.

Astonishingly, slum dwellers could have a smart phone worth of Rs. 10,000 or more, but they could not afford for hygienic sanitation at home. A few bulk of brick, mortar and a ceramic pot is actually costing them a lot over a stupid gazette of no use. Is that very respectful in proudly participating in a mass derriere pageant?

The green lush tract is being ostracised by slum dwellers for awful purposes and is plundered to a great extent. Indiscriminate destruction is caused very frequently, often neglected, as it comes out of the purview of protective status. My heart bleeds to death looking at the miseries of the vulnerable habitants.

The land comes under the purview of central government, undoubtedly, they are the competent authority to take action. It cannot be denied that a long time is usually taken by the authority to make any steps to deal with this kind. I had tried reputed NGOs, imploring them to take effective measures in ensuring the safety of the deplorable lives. Unfortunately, all I heard from them was to dial 100, in case, I witness any kind of torment to the animals.

You would be upfront with me in acknowledging that it is not always feasible to trouble police for whatsoever misconduct when it is pretty much a regular offence. To protect for their lives it is a matter of higher regard in sensitizing the issue among general public and stakeholders.

Delhi is reigning top on the UN's list of the most polluted cities in the world. Unarguably, it is true that we are breathing a packet of smoke everyday. If the uninterrupted shred of the green zone is not stopped, the day is not very far when the world would come near to its end. Pilferage to the sensitive area is very common and happening like everyday. We need to secure their lives before they face extinction. Therefore, I request you, kindly sign this petition to generate a positive awareness against cruelty to wildlife.
