Direction (41 – 44) Read the passage given below and answers the questions that follow:
Imagine 100 people walking on a beach in the middle of the night, stopping every once in a while to search for turtle
eggs and hatchlings. I was a part of this walk recently in the heart of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. Our aim was to take
them to the safety of a ‘hatchery’.
As we trudged along the beach, we came across the tractor-like tracts of a turtle that must have come ashore to lay
her eggs. The tracks are unmistakable. These are caused by the feet and back flippers of the turtle as it drags itself
across the sand. Despite trying, we could not locate the nest that the turtle must have dug to drop its eggs. An hour
later, we came across another set of tracts, and this time located the nest.
As our expert guides dug, a wave of excitement went through the group…one by one, turtle hatchlings emerged
from the hole. They began walking and we
guided
to the
sea so they could swim off. We found and released

This night exercise has been a part of the unique “turtle walk” organized by conservationists in Chennai for the last
20 years. Every year when the nesting season of the Olive Ridley turtles comes around, people gather to patrol the
beach every night. They ensure that no one digs up the eggs or hatchlings to eat them, and when they find eggs,
they transfer them to a safe enclosed hatchery.
Why do they need to do this? Because the Chennai beach is visited by thousands of people, and by dogs, and the
turtles could easily be disturbed or dug up.
Another threat faced by the hatchling is the lighting across the beach. When they emerge from the nest, these
turtles look for the brightest part of the horizon and head there. In natural conditions, this would be the sea. In
Chennai, however, it is now brighter in land than at the sea. Chennai’s turtle volunteers spend hours every night to
ensure that this does not happen.
