Following its annual tradition, this year too the waterhole census was organised at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park on the occasion of Buddha Poornima. Census involved volunteers and forest guards keeping an eye on the waterholes across Borivli national park, including Tungareshwar and Yeeor ranges, from Saturday 5 pm to Sunday 5 pm. The census was carried out on Buddha Poornima, as it is easier to spot animals during full moon.
