( words)
Mortality rate of migratory birds in the Pong wetland has been declining in the last few days. Only seven dead birds were retrieved by the Wildlife Rapid Response Teams today. Total 4,953 have been reported dead till date.
An eye is being kept by drone on the Bhool khud area of the wildlife sanctuary which didn’t find any dead birds anywhere in the dry area. No dead bird was found in the Dhameta wildlife range as well. This may be a sign of the containment of the virus spread. However, The ongoing surveillance will continue. The number of members of the teams can be reduced after reviewing the situation.
