| Makar Sankranti, when the sun enters the Makar raashi , is an auspicious day for Hindus all over the country, and in Maharashtra and Gujarat is celebrated by flying colourful kites. This year, BWC stepped out on Sankranti, not to join the celebrations but to capture, on film, the suffering caused by the celebrations to the unsuspecting winged creatures that glide the city's skies. |

| In Bombay, when you find the sky speckled with hundreds of vibrantly coloured kites soaring high above building tops, you know that it's Sankranti Day. But what you most probably don't know is that, as these kites rise to scale the skies hundreds of birds literally fall from the skies from cut wings and other injuries. |

Through this campaign we wish to develop preventive as well as curative solutions to the problem and aim for its cessation or at least a reduction in the number of injured. |
