The sudden death of several crows in and around at Gomia block in Bokaro district in the past few days has sent health officials and bird lovers into a tizzy.
There is an apprehension looming large that the mysterious epidemic, which claimed hundreds of crows in recently, has arrived in district, including the Bermo and several other parts in the district.
With the death of a few crows in the block recently, ornithologists fear that this could be because of a bird flu-like disease that claimed hundreds of crows in the neighbouring district.
They are also concerned that the scavenging birds might be on the verge of extinction in the region if the disease spreads to other district.
