The Pong Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary opened for visitors and tourists on Tuesday after authorities managed to successfully control the Avian Influenza (H5N1) outbreak that has claimed the lives of thousands of exotic migratory birds during the past two months.
The Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) and Chief Wildlife Warden, Archana Sharma, who issued an office order for opening the Pong Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary on Monday, told The Tribune that no bird mortality had been reported from the sanctuary area since the past seven to ten days.
She said that the bird flu epidemic phase was over and 5,006 birds had died of the disease.
