00:00My name is Masoor. I am present in Chambal.

00:05But now the story has changed.

00:07And this Chambal has now become a habitat for endangered animals.

00:14Behind me you can see the crocodiles and crocodiles.

00:18This Chambal has become a sanctuary for them.

00:22And it has become their habitat.

00:24Endangered animals like crocodiles, crocodiles, dolphins and all other wild animals.

00:29All of them are getting a sanctuary here.

00:33And their numbers are also increasing.

00:36The most important thing about Chambal is that there is no industrial pollution.

00:41The water there counts in snake water.

00:45And there are many birds that migrate in snake water that reach Chambal.

00:53The most important bird among them is the Indian streamer.

00:59And the Indian streamer is included in the endangered species list of the IUCN.

01:05So, in a way, there is a problem.

01:08It not only comes there, but also breeds there.

01:13So, in a way, we can say that the Chambal river is only for the crocodiles.

01:21It is not only for them.

01:23The other endangered species like the Indian streamer,

01:27and many other species that are near threatened also come there for breeding.

01:33But the most important thing is that the Indian streamer breeds in Chambal, not in Agra.

01:39It feels very good.

01:41What happened? How did you come here?

01:43We came from Agra, not from Delhi.

01:46We came here to see the crocodiles and monkeys.

01:49It feels very good here.

01:51Did you show them to the children?

01:52Yes.

01:53It feels very good.

01:55We have seen many big ones.

01:58Have you ever seen them before?

02:01No.

02:02So, how did you feel when you came here?

02:03It felt very good.

02:05We went to Chambal and saw many crocodiles there.

02:11And they were very big.

02:13We will tell you.

02:16Sir, it feels very good.

02:18And in the context of eco-tourism, the government should work on this area,

02:23especially the Chambal area where the crocodiles are seen.

02:27It will be a very beautiful and fun place.

02:30And this new tourist spot, which is mostly untouched,

02:34from the city, from Agra, from Taj Mahal,

02:37it can also be developed.

02:39It should be worked on.

02:41It should be worked on, sir.

02:43Here in the Chambal area, the structure of the crocodiles and crocodiles,

02:47if you look at it, it has become an ancient species.

02:50Chambal is such an area where the crocodiles and crocodiles are protected.

02:54Many tourists come here.

02:56There is no arrangement for them to come.

02:58The government should pay attention to this,

03:00so that the environment here is good and the tourists get a boost.

03:03It is expected from the government that if an arrangement is made,

03:07then the tourists should be focused here.

03:09So that people come here and see.

03:11Until now, Chambal was known as Dhaka.

03:13But even today, as you can see,

03:15as we can see and those who live here,

03:17it has become a safe haven for crocodiles and crocodiles.

03:21There is no tourist environment here,

03:23as people have made it famous.

03:25If we talk about tourism here,

03:27then the chances of employment will increase.

03:29The chances of employment will increase.

03:31Tourist areas, tourists will come here.

03:33They have arrangements to eat here.

03:35A hotel will be built for them.

03:37Some government laws will also be implemented here,

03:40which will also make arrangements for them to come and go.

03:43So, Parwan will also get some profit.

03:45The government will also benefit.

03:47And the people who come here,

03:49the people in the locality,

03:51they will be given employment opportunities.

03:53Those who come here for work for 300-400 kilometers,

03:56they can earn their daily wage by staying at home.

03:59They don't have to go out of the house.

04:01It will be done.

04:03The government should pay attention to this.

04:05And it can be very good here.

04:08Once the previous governments did something here,

04:12in the name of the World Festival,

04:14it should be encouraged by the governments,

04:16so that the government contributes to the development here.

04:20In the name of festivals,

04:22like the Chambal Safari,

04:24the line safari that people did,

04:26the way it has been developed there,

04:28they should also pay attention to it.

04:30It is very necessary.

04:32And the facilities that will increase in the locality,

04:34like they have to join Madhya Pradesh now,

04:36which is being done by the bridge,

04:38they are doing a lot of work on this development.

04:40And this will make both Madhya Pradesh and UP one.

04:43So they should pay more attention to this.

04:45And it is very necessary to develop this

04:47instead of the line safari.

04:50You will get a lot of employment

04:52if it becomes a permanent bridge.

04:54People will come here for sightseeing.

04:56They will come to see the crocodiles.

04:58The people will get something to sleep.

05:00They will get employment.

05:02You don't have to go out to work.

05:04You don't have to go out to work.

05:06Where do you go?

05:08People go to Delhi.

05:10They go to Gujarat also.

05:12They go wherever they can.

05:14If this work gets done here,

05:16people will come here for sightseeing.

05:18The whole public will get it.

05:20It will be a very good job.

05:22The government should work.

05:24Yes, the government should work.

05:26It is very necessary.

05:28The endangered animals,

05:30like the crocodiles,

05:32dolphins,

05:34the government should work on this.

05:36Integrated Development of Wildlife Habitat.

05:38We are working on this.

05:40In March and April,

05:42when it is time for them to be released,

05:44our staff protects their eggs.

05:46Continuous monitoring is done.

05:48We collaborate with NGOs

05:50for their rescue, rehabilitation,

05:52hatchlings,

05:54etc.

05:56Our staff protects them.

05:58When the hatchlings hatch,

06:00we release them in the river.

06:02This is how they are protected.

06:04In the recent count,

06:06the numbers of crocodiles,

06:08dolphins,

06:10and all other animals

06:12have increased.

06:20events related to human-animal struggle.

06:22Events related to awareness.

06:24We have regular health camps.

06:26We organize these events.

06:28We inform people about these events.

06:30We have a communication

06:32between the wildlife department

06:34and the public.

06:36This way,

06:38whenever there is a situation,

06:40we can take their support

06:42and support them.

06:44Whenever there is a flood,

06:46we inform them

06:48that if you see any animal,

06:50please inform the wildlife department.
