India, Feb. 16 -- The egg laying process of Olive Ridley turtles has begun at the Rushikulya river mouth in Ganjam, Odisha. This significant event marks the year's first mass nesting occurrence. The process began early this morning at 4 am.

On the first day, it has been reported that nearly 10,000 Olive Ridley turtles have laid their eggs. This is a significant development as, due to climate-related factors, the turtles did not lay eggs last year. Authorities are hopeful that in the coming days, many more Olive Ridley turtles will arrive at the river mouth to lay their eggs, continuing this important natural event.
