Officials ordered to stop boating
Mysore, July 13 (UNI) The forest department officials of the famous today ordered stoppage of the boating facility in the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary near here, following heavy discharge from the K R Sagar reservoir across Cauvery river since last night.
Official sources said even though the birds in the sanctuary had not been affected due to swollen river, water had inundated the boating area.
Tourists were allowed to visit the sanctuary but were disappointed as there was no boating which would have given them glimpse of their favourite birds and their nestling from close range.
