Neha Baruah

The self-proclaimed queen of words at "Ki Hikila." When she's not busy rearranging the alphabet to create "masterpieces," she's probably on her 17th cup of coffee, pretending that writer's block is a myth. Neha's been telling stories since she could talk (and hasn’t stopped since), and she’s convinced that her wit is sharper than her editing skills. If you're looking for tales sprinkled with sarcasm and a dash of "I could have written that better," Neha's your go-to author.

Unmasking the Environmental Menace: Senna Spectabilis

Senna spectabilis, an invasive tree species, is disrupting Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary's ecosystems. Environmentalists urge the Forest Department for transparent removal strategies to protect native flora and fauna. Introduced for its beauty and shade, Senna spectabilis now outcompetes local plants, reducing biodiversity. Efforts include partnerships and mechanical methods, though challenges persist. Known for medicinal uses, its bright yellow flowers also aid in reforestation. Developing rigorous guidelines is crucial to balance its removal with environmental preservation, ensuring the sanctuary's health and resilience.
