    Solution

    Adichunchanagiri in Karnataka and Choolannuar in Kerala were declared as Peacock Sanctuaries by Mr. Bhupender Yadav, the Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change. This decision was made to address concerns about peacock deaths in these areas, initially suspected to be from avian influenza but later confirmed as heat strokes. The designation of these sanctuaries is part of a larger government initiative to protect and conserve the national bird by enhancing their habitats and establishing specific conservation centers aimed at boosting their population and survival.
