Amid the bird flu scare, six cranes have been found dead in Newal Commando Complex in the district on Friday. However, in the preliminary investigation, the Animal Husbandry Department could not find any strain of bird flu. The samples of the dead cranes have been sent for testing to Northern Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (NRDDL) Jalandhar.
Dr Dharmendra, Deputy Director Animal Husbandry, said that on Friday they got information about the death of six cranes in the complex, following which they sent a team of experts there. “The post-mortem examination was also conducted and the samples have been sent for further testing,” he said. Extreme cold could also be a reason behind the death, he said. — TNS
