Mission Mercy: Nanapondha Forest Dept. Launches ‘Karuna Abhiyan 2026’ to Save Injured Birds; Call 9978409051 for Help
Karuna Abhiyan 2026 Nanapondha: From January 10 to 20, specialized forest rescue teams will be on 24-hour standby to treat birds injured by deadly kite strings during Makar Sankranti.
In a powerful display of compassion and environmental responsibility, the Nanapondha Forest Range in Valsad has officially kicked off Karuna Abhiyan 2026. As the skies prepare to fill with colorful kites for the Makar Sankranti festival, the forest department has mobilized its resources to ensure that our feathered friends do not pay the price for human celebration. Running from January 10 to January 20, 2026, this 10-day intensive campaign aims to provide immediate medical intervention to birds injured by abrasive kite strings, transforming the festival of kites into a festival of kindness.
“Punctuality in Time, Preservation of Life”
The theme for this year’s mission, Karuna Abhiyan 2026 Nanapondha, is centered around the slogan: “Samaynu Paalan, Jeevnu Jatan” (Punctuality in Time, Preservation of Life). Forest officials are urging citizens to be mindful of bird flight patterns.
Birds are most active during the early morning and late evening as they leave or return to their nests. By avoiding kite flying during these critical hours, thousands of accidents can be prevented. The Karuna Abhiyan 2026 Nanapondha specifically targets the elimination of Chinese Manja and nylon strings, which act as invisible blades in the sky, often resulting in fatal wing amputations for birds.
Emergency Response: Dedicated Helpline 9978409051
To make the Karuna Abhiyan 2026 Nanapondha effective, the forest department has released a dedicated emergency contact number. If you find a bird entangled in string or lying injured on the ground, follow these steps:
- Do Not Panic: Approach the bird gently.
- Call the Helpline: Immediately dial 9978409051 to reach the Nanapondha Range Rescue Team.
- Provide Location: Give clear directions so the medical van can reach the spot within the “Golden Hour.”
Forest Teams on 24/7 High Alert
Across the Nanapondha range, specialized bird treatment centers have been established. Trained forest personnel and veterinarians are working in shifts to ensure Karuna Abhiyan 2026 Nanapondha remains active 24/7. These teams will be patrolling various sensitive zones where kite flying is most prevalent, equipped with rescue kits and first-aid supplies to handle emergencies on the spot.

A Call for Responsible Celebration
The Karuna Abhiyan 2026 Nanapondha is not just a government initiative; it is a community movement. The forest department appeals to every resident of Nanapondha and Valsad to use only traditional cotton strings (Sutiya) and to properly dispose of any fallen strings found on trees or electrical wires, as these remain a hazard long after the festival ends.
As we look toward the sky this Uttarayan, let our joy be shared by all living beings. The success of Karuna Abhiyan 2026 Nanapondha depends on your vigilance. Let’s ensure that our celebrations don’t clip the wings of nature.
