    Over 1,200 bird deaths reported in Delhi amid bird-flu situation
  • Over 1,200 bird deaths have been reported in Delhi in the last 15 days amid the avian influenza situation there, officials said on Wednesday.

    "Of the 201 samples collected from various places in the national capital, 24 have tested positive for bird flu so far," the Director of the Animal Husbandry unit of the Delhi Government's Development Department, Dr. Rakesh Singh, told PTI.

    However, all deaths are not attributed to bird flu

  • He informed that 1,216 bird deaths have been reported since January 6 but did not attribute all the deaths to the flu, as cold stress could be another major reason.

    Around 15 crows were found dead in the premises of the Red Fort on January 10. Public entry is restricted into the fort after a sample of a dead crow tested positive for flu.

  • "Four cranes were found dead in Delhi Zoo a few days ago. Twelve samples were collected on Monday and sent to the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases (NIHSAD) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research for testing," Dr. Singh said.

    On Saturday, samples from a dead owl in the Delhi Zoo had tested positive for avian influenza.

  • Precautions

    Measures taken to contain the spread of the flu

  • However, authorities have not yet received the test results from the Bhopal-based lab.

    Last week, Delhi's municipal corporations had imposed a temporary ban on the sale and storage of poultry or processed chicken meat after samples from crows and ducks at parks and lakes in the national capital tested positive for bird flu.

    Around 400 ducks were culled at Sanjay Lake on January 11.

    However, the ban was lifted on Thursday after all the 100 samples taken from Ghazipur, Asia's largest poultry market, tested negative.
