Yamuna, the main source of water to Delhi is not fit for drinking anymore. Millions of rupees spent for its uptake have literally gone down in drains. The fate of 600 plus smaller water bodies in and around the capital is no better due indiscriminate mining and water pumping. The silver line though is that people are gradually realizing the importance of maintaining bio diversity and are now keenly taking part in their revival.

India has always been called the land of snake charmers.But today these snake charmers are hit hard by the ban which prevents them for using snakes for their livelihood.Is there any way out for these snake-charmers?Or is this ancient community on the verge of extinction?
