Tall claims of the provincial government and the Livestock Department to have overcome rani khait disease fell flat as another two peacocks became victim to the terrible diseases on Thursday, raising the death toll to 169. According to sources in the Wildlife Department, despite presence of teams comprising veterinary experts and carrying medicines to cure the diseases, the problem has not been overcome. The residents of the affected areas seem terrified over the situation and are repeatedly demanding authorities to control the disease as soon as possible. Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) working for saving precious and majestic birds have also expressed concerns over massive deaths of peacocks. The dwellers of Tharparkar have also warned of staging protests if more teams and medicines are not dispatched to the area to control the disease.
