Saving the snow leopard in Himachal: Big Cat Alliance donates Rs 3cr for Tsarap Chu Conservation Reserve
1 2 Shimla: A team of the International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA), led by Soumitra Dasgupta, has presented a Rs 3-crore cheque to chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu for the conservation and management of the newly notified Tsarap Chu Conservation Reserve in Lahaul and Spiti district, which has a high density of snow leopards. Tsarap Chu was formally notified as India's largest conservation reserve on May 7, covering an area of 1,585 square kilometres. The reserve is located in a strategic trans-Himalayan region, bordering the Union Territory of Ladakh in the north, Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary in the east, Kabjima Nullah in the south, and Chandertal Wildlife Sanctuary and Baralacha Pass in the west. Tsarap Chu Conservation Reserve is located in one of the high-density habitats of the snow leopards in Himachal Pradesh and supports a rich variety of Himalayan and Trans-Himalayan flora and fauna, including species such as Tibetan Wolf, Kiang, Bharal, Ibex, Tibetan Argali, and avifauna like Rose Finches, Tibetan Ravens, and Yellow-billed Choughs. Expressing gratitude for the support, Sukhu said the funds would catalyse early-stage conservation activities such as the preparation of the management plan, the constitution of the conservation reserve management committee, and capacity building of relevant stakeholders.

MSRTC employee union event in Nashik likely to impact bus services
Nashik: The one-day annual convention of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation employees, who are members of the Seva Shakti Sangharsh State Transport Workers' Union, is being held in Nashik on Sunday. The event has led to a significant number of employees from various depots filing leave applications, and this could disrupt bus services, particularly in the Kalwan, Lasalgaon, and Surgana depots. Led by MLA Gopichand Padalkar, the organisation is addressing issues related to unpaid dues to MSRTC employees and other demands, including improved facilities for drivers and conductors who are required to halt at night at various locations before commencing their duties the following day. Balasaheb Avhad, the president of the Nashik unit of the organisation, said, "Govt has promised us dues, but the arrears remain unpaid for the period since 2016. After the 2022 strike, the employees were also promised a Rs 6,500 pay rise, but the arrears were never paid. The organisation will take a stand on it." Referring to a circular stating that drivers and conductors who sign in on muster for the day should be treated as on duty instead of marking 'leave' even if no bus is available, Avhad claimed that employees are kept waiting for six to seven hours before being assigned unscheduled duties and working for eight hours, which he called is an injustice. Avhad further said many employees from each depot in Nashik are working diligently to ensure the convention is memorable for the members. However, the event is likely to impact bus operations in some depots, especially those in Nashik. A senior official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said, "Of the 125 drivers and an equal number of conductors in the Kalwan depot that runs 64 buses daily across 2,400 km, more than 200 employees have filed for leave. It is impossible to relieve all of them, and if they go, the depot operation will be hampered." He added that a similar situation exists in the Lasalgaon, Surgana, and Peth depots, where the number of leave applications is more than 60%. "We are arranging employees from adjacent depots, but even they are facing manpower issues, and the solutions are limited," the official said.
