Posted: Thu Dec 08 2011, 00:38 hrs
RANCHI: With hundreds of crows dying in Ranchi, Bokaro, Jamshedpur and Dumka due to the H5N1 variant of bird flu, the animal husbandry department has asked locals to feed crows antibiotic-mixed cooked rice, to wear masks and gloves while burying a dead crow and to disinfect the area. The forests and zoo department has been spraying DDT in animal enclosures and the municipal department has been sprinkling lime powder on roads to ensure the disease doesn’t spread. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Briefly-Nation--Bird-flu-variant-killing-crows-in-Jharkhand/885178/
