It was just over a month since forest officials seized 12 peacocks from the old city residence of a pet shop owner and slapped cases against him. Sleuths of the anti- poaching squad could not arrest him then, for violation of the Wildlife Act, 1972, by breeding the national bird in captivity. Any action against him now appears quite unlikely.
The assistant conservator of forests (surveillance cell) Kondal Rao has been sent on deputation to Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, whereas the post of forest range officer (anti-poaching) has been lying vacant for over four months. Deputy forest range officer SK Baba Khadir Vali, who led the raid, has been shifted to forest utilisation office. That leaves only two wildlife associates (temporary posts) to enforce the Wildlife Act.
According to sources in the department, the pet shop owner, SA Sohail, who runs Fur and Feathers in Banjara Hills, also had business partnership with Nehru Zoological Park for supply of exotic birds.
Sohail has, according to officials, supplied exotic birds to the zoo and is learnt to have been breeding peacocks, including two pure white peacocks, in the cellar of his house in Mochi Colony, Kalapathar. It is also learnt that those who raided Sohail’s house had come under fire from their bosses and explanation was sought from some in the form of showcause notice. However, the principal chief conservator of forests (wildlife) AV Joseph was unavailable for comments despite repeated attempts.
Officials, based on a tip off, raided Sohail’s residence on May 11 and could not arrest him since he was in Mumbai then. But cases were registered against him under section 9 and 39 of the Wildlife Act, which would get him imprisonment up to 7 years.
“Sohail has come back and is very much in Hyderabad. It is just that no one in the department is showing any interest in following up the case and arrest the offender,” pointed out an official on condition of anonymity.
The anti-poaching squad has been conducting raids and the seizure of 12 peacocks, listed as schedule-1 protected species, was certainly one of their biggest catch till date. Hunting, petting and breeding of any wildlife species listed in schedule I and II can attract imprisonment of three to seven years.

Are you looking for a few plants with massive flowers to add to your garden this season? There are many different plants that have enormous blooms that you'll love. In this article, gardening expert Jill Drago shares some of her favorite plants that will bring extremely large flowers to your garden!
Make sure to maintain consistently moist soil, ensuring it doesn't become waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Also remember to avoid overhead watering to prevent foliage diseases. Instead, water at the base of the plant and get the Viola plant the water it needs.
Viola plants thrive in cool, moist environments with well-drained soil and partial shade. They are versatile flowering plants and can grow in various conditions, including gardens, borders, containers, and even as ground cover.
Violas prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (around 6.0 to 7.5). In hotter climates, if you provide them with afternoon shade, it could also help prevent wilting.
The Viola flower, also known as the Violet, is a flowering plant belonging to the large family of Violaceae, which consists of over 680 different species. Its delicate yet very vibrant, violet blooms make for stunning additions to ornamental displays in gardens and even as cut flowers.
The Sorbet series of violas, such as this Midnight Glow selection, resist stretching and stay compact through winter and even as temperatures rise in the spring.

Peacocks have long been a part of traditional Mehndi designs due to their cultural significance. The peacock pattern is characterised by its curvy lines and detailed feather motifs. Though it may seem complex, starting with a basic outline and adding feather-like details makes it easier to master. It’s a great choice for those looking to add a unique touch to their Mehndi.
Heart motifs are a popular choice for Karwa Chauth as they symbolise love and commitment. These designs typically feature a heart shape filled with intricate details such as floral patterns or geometric shapes. The design can be placed in the centre of the palm or along the wrist for a romantic touch.
