Dear Nitesh,

Although the media has gone gaga over this one sparrow making a spring yet
let us clear the facts.Their land equal to some 19 kanals has been occupied
by the State government to make a bus stand.So in order to avoid their land
from being grabbed they went there to stay put tso that the government
doesnt occupy it.
And the media and state government played it up.....

In case you need to know the truth please call their son in law Dr.Pandita
who works with Batra Hospital.Here is his number-9811362069.

Best Regards

Rashneek Kher
