The biggest challenge is unsolicited advices from the crowd. People have created huge pressure, panicking

Beware of
#BirdFlu
- its contagious & spreads fast among birds. 5 deaths so far in Chandigarh including a

bird.
Not much to panic but we need to be careful as
#birdfluvirus
do not usually infect humans but some infections were reported (AIIMS).
Ideal case of hyper-activism & over sensitisation.

We rescued this

in Chandigarh. It’s

. Incidentally, there is a nearby Vulture Breeding Center in Pinjore Haryana (at approx 40 Km).
A sharp decline in Vulture Population in India was recently reported, ~99.95 % since 1980. It’s an ecological crisis.
