A member from the Wildlife SOS Rapid Response Unit immediately reached the location and the Metro functioning was "ceased temporarily" to rescue the bird, which is undergoing treatment at the NGO's transit facility.

Kartick Satyanarayan, CEO and co-founder of Wildlife SOS, said, "Kalindi Kunj is close to the Yamuna banks and thus attracts numerous bird species. The brown-headed gull is a local migratory species that moves towards the Yamuna during the winter months."
