Rajasthan: More than 1,000 migratory birds found dead near Sambhar Lake in Jaipur

 

12 Nov 2019



Close to 1,500 migratory birds died under mysterious circumstances around Sambhar Lake in Jaipur district of Rajasthan, PTI reported on Monday. Local residents claimed the number of dead birds could be as high as 5,000.

“The birds belong to roughly 15 species,” said Jaipur Chief Conservator of Forests Arun Prasad, according to The Indian Express. “It has been happening for the last three to four days.”

Officials are yet to ascertain the cause of the deaths but suspect that the reason was a hailstorm that hit the area a few days ago. They are awaiting the viscera test reports. “We are also looking at other possibilities like toxicity of the water, bacterial or viral infection,” forest ranger Rajendra Jakhar told PTI.
