Poverty of Budget Hinders Cleaning of Halakhoria Pond in Parsa National Park

बारा । Poverty of budget has made it difficult to clean Halakhoria pond, considered the main source of water for wildlife inside Parsa National Park. The Halakhoria pond, located 17 kilometers east of the park office, covers an area of more than 15 hectares.

This area, which is the main habitat of the rare Bengal tiger, is visited by wild elephants and many birds to enjoy the pond. However, as the pond has not been cleaned for the last 3 years, it has been covered by floods from the Chure and turned into a grassland.
