The Kala Talab has been filled with fly ash and soil to build residential colonies in the east Rajasthan city on the Chambal, resulting in crocodile deaths

Some 50 mugger crocodiles have died in the last one month in a prominent waterbody of Rajasthan’s Kota city as a result of it being filled up for developmental activities, locals and wildlife activists have alleged.

The Kala Talab (‘black pool’) is connected via a canal to the Chambal river. It is rich in aquatic life including mugger crocodiles.

“As long as I have known, there have been crocodiles in the Kala Talab,” Tapeshwar Singh Bhati, a wildlife activist in the city, told Down To Earth.

But of late, wildlife activists and locals have observed that the pond itself, and the crocodile habitat is in danger due to the development activities taking place in the city.

“The Urban Improvement Trust (UIT) is coming up with a development project worth Rs 20 crore in the area. They are filling up the water body with fly ash and soil to build residential colonies and parks. This is not just leading to the death of crocodiles, but is also killing other aquatic animals,” Bhati claimed.
