Volkswagen Car crashes into wall Mount Abu.

Three men are apprehended by Mount Abu police after a car crash.

Volkswagen Car crashes into wall Mount Abu.

A Volkswagen car late last night or early this morning crashed into the wall opposite the All India Radio station, Mount Abu. A local Abuite saw the crashed car and went to check it. He saw that the driver of the car and two other young men in the back seats were fast asleep. As there seemed to be no sign of injury to any of the three men he left. Later Mount Abu cops came and apprehended the three men. 

The question arises when the three are under the influence of alcohol that they are not even aware of their surroundings. If they were then they have landed themselves in deep trouble. It's fortunate that there was no other vehicle at the time the driver lost control of his vehicle. From the crash scene, it can be presumed he must have been zipping. 

Will update as and when more news is received.

Baby Monkey survives electrocution. Mount Abu.

Miracles do happen baby monkey survives high tension jolt.

Electrocuted by high-tension voltage wires on the pole

It was a little after 4 p.m. this evening when I heard a loud boom from the high-tension wires that passed by our house. My first thought was gosh. “Lights Have gone”, I asked Liz if they had gone she replied Nope. I assumed that some large bird had been electrocuted On looking towards the road I saw monkeys on the little hillock and they seemed agitated. Harry had just landed up at that moment I requested him to have a look if an unfortunate monkey had been a victim of the unguarded high-tension wires near the poles. Previously I had witnessed two Palm Civet cats being electrocuted in the same place. 

When Harry went to have a look, he was almost attacked by the alpha male and a female monkey. He managed to shoo them away and after a short while saw a diminutive monkey lying in the grass by the side of the stream.

The troupe of monkeys waiting in anticipation.

Apprehensive

When I had gone to see and snap the fallen monkey, the monkeys all moved down and if they had not been threatened by Harry would have probably attacked us.

I next phoned our PFA person and requested that someone be sent to the location to recover the fallen baby monkey. 

At around 5 pm Harry noticed movement from the little guy by the side of the stream. My neighbour Bheru had also landed up and he phoned the compounder of the veterinarian department to come and take the little guy to the hospital. At around 4:45 pm when Bheru saw the little fellow dragging himself towards the water of the stream, he jumped down the embankment lifted the little guy and placed him on the rock.

None of us had expected him to survive 

After about 10 minutes I suddenly saw the little bloke sit up 

Wow, some miracle.

Kaizad from the PFA had landed and had sent his man to get the Baby monkey to 

Take it to the vet.

As soon as the little fellow was placed in the van, the mother monkey came running to claim her baby. They put him down on the road, and she immediately picked him up and took off with the rest of the monkeys. Hope he survives. 




 

Alluring and bewitching the Water hyacinth flower. Mount Abu

The water flower hyacinth invades a thousand freshwater bodies worldwide.

How did the water hyacinth enter Mount Abu?

Unravelling the Green Threat: The Stealthy Invasion of Mount Abu’s Freshwaters by Water Hyacinth

The infamous water hyacinth has taken root in the calm highlands of Mount Abu, famed as the abode of gods, and spread its emerald tentacles over a thousand freshwater bodies worldwide. This water plant, which appears to be a stunning bloom at first glance, has found its way into the heart of Mount Abu, raising doubts about its origin and the environmental implications it bears.

The Water Hyacinth Mystery: A perplexing mystery surrounds the water hyacinth in Mount Abu. Abuites in the region recall a time when this invasive plant was absent from their scenic landscapes. The shift occurred sometime between the swinging sixties and the eventful eighties, leaving many to wonder how this green intruder infiltrated the sanctity of the hill station.

An Abuite’s Story: Harnam, often known as Harry, a seasoned Abu inhabitant, solves the mystery underlying the water hyacinth’s arrival at Mount Abu. Based on his account, the invasion commenced with a grand wedding reception years ago. A surplus of colourful flowers and plants, including the unwary water hyacinth, made its way to the hills as part of the festivities.

After the festivities came to an end, the surplus decorative plants became a treasure trove for the Abuites, as they were sold at discounted prices. Nobody knew that among the brilliant blossoms, the water hyacinth had tucked itself into the streams along the pilgrim route. The unsuspecting introduction of this innocuous plant would quickly create an environmental threat to Mount Abu’s water ecosystems.

The Unexpected Consequences of That Joyous Celebration: The water hyacinth, once an exotic addition, has morphed into a green threat, spreading its tentacles throughout Mount Abu’s freshwater bodies. The invasive nature of this plant has alarmed residents, environmentalists, and officials alike, causing authorities to take immediate measures to stop its growth.

Conclusion: The water hyacinth, a quiet invader whose beginnings may be traced back to a time of celebration and flowery excess, now has Mount Abu’s calm vistas in its grasp. As the green menace spreads, it serves as a harsh warning of the unforeseen environmental consequences that can result from seemingly innocuous activities.
