Avian influenza, the dreaded virus responsible for the spread of bird flu, has killed nearly 1700 ducks in the districts of Alappuzha and Kottayam in Kerala, 2400 migratory waterbirds in Himachal Pradesh, 250 crows in Rajasthan and almost 400 crows in Madhya Pradesh.

With the fear of this lethal disease spreading far and wide, Kerala’s authorities have decided to cull nearly 48,000 birds within a 1 km radius of the infected area to contain the virus.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&client=ca-pub-7914966845615769&output=html&h=60&adk=2728362163&adf=3920202107&w=468&lmt=1610001711&psa=0&format=468×60&url=https%3A%2F%2Fedtimes.in%2Fwhats-the-environmental-repercussion-of-culling-thousands-of-birds-amidst-indias-bird-flu%2F&flash=0&wgl=1&dt=1610043351757&bpp=3&bdt=7877&idt=840&shv=r20201203&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D38abb80a678c6448-2261288d82c500f3%3AT%3D1610043352%3ART%3D1610043352%3AS%3DALNI_MZGko-NW_xoEQGczUOBUNqA605zOA&prev_fmts=0x0%2C468x60%2C320x50&nras=1&correlator=3980100530184&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=2070842837.1610043350&ga_sid=1610043352&ga_hid=929625584&ga_fc=0&u_tz=-480&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=640&u_w=1139&u_ah=607&u_aw=1139&u_cd=24&u_nplug=3&u_nmime=4&adx=157&ady=1253&biw=1123&bih=538&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=21066428%2C21068769&oid=3&pvsid=3721878878247954&pem=723&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1920&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1139%2C0%2C1139%2C607%2C1139%2C537&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CoEebr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8192&bc=31&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=l8FCvvzu7A&p=https%3A//edtimes.in&dtd=855
