Bharathinagar (Mandya District): With the mysterious deaths of migratory Spot-Billed Pelican continuing to haunt Kokkare Bellur on the banks of River Shimsha in Mandya district, Forest Department officials have sought the help from New Delhi-based Ornithologists and conservation experts.
What is bothering the Department is that the exact cause of pelican deaths has not been determined so far though samples were sent to various laboratories since the last two years that saw many bird deaths. Unless the cause is determined, the department cannot take any remedial measures.
