Samples of fifteen crows that were found dead near Red Fort a week ago have tested positive for bird flu, as per reports. The samples had been sent to Jalandhar and Bhopal for testing.
The Animal Husbandry Department had earlier said that bird flu was confirmed in the capital after eight samples from dead crows and ducks tested positive for avian flu. Over 35 crows were found dead in Delhi, including 24 at a park in Jasola and 10 ducks at Sanjay Lake. Later, a dead owl in Delhi Zoo was also found to be infected with bird flu, as per reports.
However, on 14 January, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced that the samples taken from poultry markets in the national capital had tested negative for bird flu and said that he had issued directives to reopen the markets. He also asked to withdraw the orders to restrict trade and import of chicken.
