जानवरों का हाईवे पुल

A Colorado wildlife overpass has cut vehicle-animal collisions by 91% in ten months.

A wildlife overpass over a busy stretch of Interstate 25 in Colorado has cut wildlife-vehicle collisions by 91% in the 10 months since its completion, according to a newly released report. Before the system was built, there was an average of one wildlife-vehicle crash a day in the corridor.

The grass-covered bridge spans six lanes, measures 200ft wide and 209ft long, and connects 39,000 acres of habitat. Elk, bears, pronghorn and northern leopard frogs have used it. The project received $22m in federal funding and $8m from the state, but officials say it was completed for $15m. Colorado hopes to build other wildlife crossings across the state.

Sarkar ne 15 million mein pul banaya aur elk ne use diya. Hamare yahan pul banta hai toh pehle gir jata hai. Prachand Chutiya wo, jo ise boring khabar kehta hai.

Arey bhaiya, aaj ek khabar hai jisme kuch bhi galat nahi hua. Elk ko pul mila, pronghorn ko pul mila, aur deadline par pul bhi bana. Humne dobara padha, kyunki yakeen nahi hua. Funding $30 million ki thi, aur pul bana $15 million mein. Iska matlab kuch log bachaa ke dikha sakte hain.

Ab dekhiye, pul aise bana ki jaanwar ko poora khula aasmaan dikhe. 'Elk aur pronghorn ko khule structures pasand hain.' Matlab jaanwaron ko user experience samajh aata hai, par kai sarkaaron ko nahi. Hamare yahan toh insaan ke liye bhi footbridge pe lift chalna band hi rahta hai. Isse badhiya pul-wul ki khabar kya, hum bas ye soch rahe hain ki pronghorn ko toll lagega kya.

FINAL VERDICTAaj ka Prachand Chutiya Award ek kisi ko nahi, kyunki aaj sab ne kaam kiya. Lifetime Achievement in Common Sense: Colorado ke elk aur unke engineers.
