The global epidemic of coronavirus continues to spread. The new threat of bird flu has come amidst the Corona crisis in the country. After Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, now more than 1000 birds have died in Himachal. It is a matter of concern that it is now spreading at a faster pace. Samples of dead birds have been sent to a laboratory in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
After confirming the bird flu in Jhalawar district of Rajasthan, for the first time, crows died in Kota and Pali on Saturday. It has now spread to five districts. On Saturday, 19 deaths occurred in Baran, 15 in Jhalawar, and 22 more in Ramganjmandi, Kota. So far 177 crows have died in these three districts of the Kota division. In Indore, Madhya Pradesh, 13 more crows died.
Migratory birds in danger
More than 1,000 migratory birds have been found dead in a week in Peng Dam Sanctuary of Himachal Pradesh after Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. From October to March every year in Peng Dam Sanctuary, colorful birds of various species from Russia, Siberia, Central Asia, China, Tibet, etc. arrive here on a long flight and attract tourists. Now, these birds are suddenly dying. The Wildlife Department has banned all kinds of activities in Lake Lake by apprising District Collector Kangra due to fear of bird flu.
Panic in people
A King Fisher and Megapi have also died in Baran district. Apart from this, eight crowds have been found at different places in Sumerpur of Pali. There were no deaths in Jodhpur on Saturday, but 152 crows have died here to date. In the Kota division, there is panic among people due to bird flu. Except for Jhalawar, samples have not come from anywhere else, but Chief Wild Life Warden, ML Meena has issued an alert across the state in view of the deaths. The control room has been made in Jhalawar. Elsewhere, the action is being taken promptly.
Bird flu can become such a big risk
If the bird flu virus was also found in chickens, it would become the biggest threat. Chickens are more likely to spread the virus to humans. Apart from this, thousands of foreign birds have come to the state for winter migration. Fear of viruses has started in them too. At the time of the Sambhar Lake tragedy, even the most exotic birds came in the grip of the epidemic. Samples of dead birds have been sent to a laboratory in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The cause of death will be known only after the report comes.
