Porbandar takes wing
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's birthplace has a new identity: as a bird sanctuary. For the past decade or so, lakhs of migratory birds from all parts of the world have made Porbandar their winter home, settling within the city's 20-km radius. The main draw for the winged species is that Porbandar is located on India's west coast and offers saline as well as sweet water bodies.
