Team CMD has visited
Sajnekhali, Sundarban, West Bengal on 14th June 2014. There was huge
humidity on that day. We took several halt during our six hours journey. The
Basanti, Sundarban is connected to the mainland Kolkata by road. After that, we
have to cross the Bidhyadhari River to reach Gosaba. Another part of Bidhyadhari
River have to cross from Gosaba to reach Sajnekhali. This small island is mounted
by high rise metal net to protect from tiger. Tiger can enter that place any
time. Our basic notion is to visit to the Mangrove Interpretation Centre (MIC).
We reached Sajnekhali
around 13.00 on the same day. The tour was informal, so we took permission from
the Office to enter the MIC. We enter inside MIC and documented the exhibits, diorama
and panels by capturing on camera. Basically a project is going to be start
soon entitled National Biodiversity Museum in Hyderabad, this documentation
will be applied on that project. The area was small and we took just forty five
minutes to cover the whole area. The care taker of the MIC told us he saw a
tiger nearby lake on 21st may’14.
After that we took
lunch at nearby guest house of Forest Department, Govt. of West Bengal. We reached
the mainland around 17.00 and reached Kolkata around 20.00.
