The cause of death of more than 10,000 migratory birds in the Indian state of Rajasthan remains to be ascertained

China News Network, November 18, comprehensive report, recently, in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan Near the Samper Salt Lake, people found the remains of more than 10,000 birds, most of which are migratory birds. By analysing the remains of the birds, indian authorities believe that the birds may have died as a result of eating toxic substances, but the specific causes have yet to be ascertained.

According to the report, on the 11th local time, people found the remains of 716 birds around the lake. The next day, 1622 bird remains were recovered, and 922, 540 and 3265 bird remains were found on the 13th, 14th and 15th, respectively.

At first, the birds were suspected of dying from bird flu, but a local laboratory report ruled out that possibility.

This strange thing confused the forest department and people in the vicinity because they could not find a reasonable explanation.

While more than a dozen working groups from India's livestock sector have moved around the lake to analyze the causes of mass bird deaths, the number of bird deaths is still climbing.

It has been reported that experts have analyzed the remains of birds and believed that the death of birds may be due to the consumption of toxic substances. Currently, 70 experts from India's Emergency Management Agency are working on the shores of Samper Salt Lake, and their task is to dispose of dead bird carcasses to prevent the situation from spreading further. In addition, the staff of the Ministry of Livestock is closely monitoring the developments.

In addition, Indian authorities are still investigating the causes of bird deaths and have asked to disconnect all underground drainage channels leading to the lake, and forestry departments are also conducting pollution tests on the lake' waters.

On the 15th local time, the Indian High Court questioned the state government about the cause of the death of these birds, and set November 22 as the date of the next hearing.

India's forestry minister said, "It has now been confirmed that it is not bird flu that causes bird deaths. However, we are awaiting the report. This is the first of its kind in India. ”
