Slowly and steadily, the olive ridley turtle, Bageshri, has been making progress in her journey. In what can be termed as the first scientific evidence of this extraordinary journey of one of her kind on the country’s Western coast, the radio-tagged Bageshri, having travelled from Guhagar to Kanyakumari, has now entered Sri Lankan waters. 

On June 18, mid-day had done a story (Ratnagiri se Kanyakumari in just four months) in which it was stated how one of the satellite-tagged Olive Ridley turtles, Bageshri, has travelled from Ratnagiri and reached the southern limit of the Arabian Sea and was 100 km south of Kanyakumari.
