A birder from Uran, who has been part of a group trying to protect the Panje wetlands in Uran, has received death threats from two locals, a concerning report said in this paper.

A social media campaign has been started by environmentalists who are trying to ensure support for this individual under threat. The online petition has been addressed to various authorities including the Prime Minister’s Office about taking action on the degradation and threats to activists. We can only urge those who are threatened in any matter to lodge a police complaint. That way the police have on record that the person has been threatened and then should take action or escalate it, as they deem fit.
