Strict vigil, separate water points among steps taken to save Great Indian Bustards from bird flu

JAISALMER: The Rajasthan forest department has intensified efforts to save the Great Indian Bustards from bird flu infection in Jaisalmer by taking multiple measures, including an increased vigil and building a separate water point for the avian species.

In view of the death of Demoiselle Crane — a migratory bird — in Jaisalmer, special vigilance and monitoring are being done at the halting places.

Deputy Forest Conservator of Desert National Park Ashish Vyas said the forest department has built a separate water point for the Great Indian Bustards in areas they roam.
