Another flock of same capacity is already on way to Nagaland from Mongolia.
He also informed that of three satellite-tagged Amur Falcons– Naga, Pangti and Wokha, which were tagged by a group of international ornithologists in Nagaland–there was no information of Naga. But Pangti and Wokha are still on satellite track. They are on their way to Nagaland from Mongolia.
He said due to good awareness programme, citizens are enthusiastic for preservation of the feathered visitors during their one and half month stay in Nagaland and give them safe passage to South Africa.
