2 pelicans attacked at Korattur Lake in 2 days; one dies of injuries

A pelican died and another was injured after miscreants attacked them at Korattur Lake recently. Forest officials are investigating the incidents, suspecting stone pelting as the cause of injuries. The injured bird is being transported for veterinary treatment following the attack. Residents are renewing their long-pending demand to declare the lake a bird sanctuary. They believe transferring control to the Forest Department will ensure better protection for visiting birds.
