The total number of birds dying because of bird flu in Indore now tolls at 382. Veterinary department is assuming that the virus has come under control now.

“In Indore, the number of birds dying of bird flu has been decreasing for the last few days, though we have at least one reporting from Depalpur every day,” deputy director of veterinary department Dr Pramod Sharma said.

He added that the number of bird deaths is gradually decreasing due to change in weather and better immunity in birds due to bird flu virus. However, the outbreak of bird flu is not yet over.

Other than crows and pigeons, other species like owl, bat, sparrows, etc. are suddenly dying in various parts of the city.

“Chickens are not dying from bird flu as per our reports as of now, so that’s a good news for humans,” Sharma said.

Medicines to control the outbreak in major areas will continue for another week, till the virus is under control. Anti-biotic medicines mixed with water are being kept in some places in the city including Regal square, Rajkumar Bridge, Nehru Park, and Regional Park.
