Keonjhar: Following bird flu in Kerang area of
Khurda district, Angul district, Bahanada in Mayurbhaj district, crow deaths in
large number have been reported from Anandapur sub-division in Keonjhar
district, creating panic among the people as there is no measure by departmental
officials or the district administration to make the people aware about the pros
and cons of the problem.
Just two days back, over a hundred crows were found
dead in different areas of the sub-division, including village Ambagadia in
Hatadihi block, and members of a voluntary organisation burnt them after people
kept aloof from the exercise out of fear.
The sub-divisional Veterinary
Officer said they have no arrangements to create awareness among the people,
indirectly hinting that efforts by district-level machinery are required to
tackle the situation.
It is necessary that the district-level administration
and the fisheries and animal resources department should come forward to contain
the spread of the flu menace to more areas, the public demanded.
