Devalghati Moja (Pinjore): Six more crows were found dead in the catchment area of Kaushalya dam near Panchkula on Sunday even as the Haryana wildlife and animal husbandry departments exhumed one of the graves of crows here and rushed five carcasses to the Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (RDDL), Jalandhar, to test for bird flu. A team of Haryana wildlife department led by Panchkula inspector Jaibir Singh buried the crows on Saturday afternoon.
In a related development, 10 migratory Bar-headed geese died in a wetland in Jind, Haryana. The carcasses were also being sent to RDDL. "We have sent five crow carcasses and the 10 geese to the RDDL. I cannot state what could be the cause of these deaths. It could be any of the reasons that we suspect. Only tests will determine the true cause of mortality. But to be on the safe side, we had sounded an alert for avian flu across the state a week back. Samples from migratory birds are also being taken from wetlands such as Sultanpur and Bhindawas for testing," Haryana acting chief wildlife warden R K Sapra told TOI.
A total of 32 crows have died here.
