BHUBANESWAR:
A team consisting of six experts on Sunday visited the brackish water lake
Chilika to take stock of the
situation on the backdrop of the bird flu incident. Meanwhile, the State
Government alerted the district administrations of Ganjam, Khurda and Puri to
keep eye on the development.
The six-member team including
deputy director of Bombay Natural History Society entered the Nalabana
Island inside the lake and studied
the condition of the birds and collected blood and excreta sample from the
birds.
The expert team and the Assistant
Conservator of Forests of Chilika Chandramani Behera said that they have
requested the villagers near the lake periphery area to report them about the
death of any bird so that they can immediately take steps to check the problem.
The experts said that the virus
couldn’t live in such a warm climate. No need to be panicked, they added.
