Storage of Indus upstream damning for coastal herders Business May 8, 2021 HYDERABAD: Flowering mangroves during the months of May and June attract a poisonous fly that is a nuisance for the local camel population that grazes in the forest along the coast. To avoid the situation, camel herders take their animals back home, as at times even strong animals cannot survive the sting of the fly and die instantly due to the toxins. On the other hand, the locals also like the flowering mangroves due to the fragrance. These flowers are used as a natural perfume by the community. When mature, these mangroves bear a fruit called Qum. Taste of the fruit depends on how much freshwater was absorbed by the trees. People cannot consume this fruit in any other season other than when there freshwater or rains are available to the trees.
