“Eight of the 109 samples sent to various laboratories tested positive for avian influenza on Monday morning. We do not have to wait for more confirmed reports as the protocol comes into force the moment a single case is reported in the city,” said Dr. Rakesh Singh of the animal husbandry department.

According to the developments more than 140 birds, mostly crows have been found dead across Delhi.

Meanwhile, Delhi is the ninth state to register a bird flu case and there are speculations by the health officials that it might result in the next pandemic.
