Putting the ball in the Centre's court, the Supreme Court on Friday asked it to come out with a "comprehensive" plan to save the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard.

Critically endangered Great Indian Bustards were hard to track, until environmentalists fitted them with telemetry devices that record the bird's location and communicate that data through mobile networks, all running on solar power that can keep the trackers working for years.

The Supreme Court has set up an high-level committee to examine the feasibility of under-grounding of over-head transmission power lines in Rajasthan and Gujarat in order to protect Great Indian Bustard from extinction. Only 150 critically-endangered
