Sanjay Kumar Malla, Hapur's Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) said, "Brijghat is a very famous place for the bird sanctuary. Whenever the water level at Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary goes down birds like demoiselle cranes flock to the ghats of Brijghat."

Watching Siberian birds while taking the holy dip is pleasing for the people; hence, more and more people are visiting the pilgrimage place.

These birds migrate from Siberia to the wetlands in India during the winter season every year as temperatures fall up north in Siberia. After spending the winter months in India the birds later flock back to their home grounds. (ANI)
