Modi praises Arunachal Mama Narung
Modi in his address to the nation in the 84th episode of his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on December 26, praised the people of Arunachal Pradesh for surrendering their air guns to save wildlife.
Narendra Modi said that Arunachal Pradesh has more than 500 species of birds. This includes some indigenous species which aren’t found anywhere else in the world.
But now the number of birds in the forests of Arunachal Pradesh declined due to hunting. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance an ‘air gun surrender campaign’ has been launched and people of all communities of Arunachal Pradesh have accepted it with open heart and they are participating in it.
About ‘air gun surrender campaign’:
The initiative was launched in March, 202. According to PM Modi, so far 1600 air guns have been surrendered.
