Questions raised on continuous deaths after the body of a lioness was found in Amreli, Gujarat
Gujrat Lions: There has been a stir after the body of a lioness was found in Amreli district of Gujarat. There is concern among the people about the deaths of lions in the area in recent days. Local leaders have demanded the Forest Department to investigate the virus infection. However, the cause of death has been stated as natural in the post-mortem report and officials have ruled out any infection.
There is an atmosphere of concern in the area after the body of a lioness was found near Mandardi village in Amreli district of Gujarat. Local authorities and wildlife enthusiasts have expressed concerns over the ongoing deaths of lions within the region over the past few days. They have questioned the Forest Department about whether the breakdown of any major virus is the cause behind these deaths.
The body of a lioness was found in a field near Mandardi village on Saturday. According to Amar Ujala, Forest department sources said that the body was taken to Babarkot Animal Center, where the cause of death was stated to be natural after the post-mortem. However, local leaders say that many lions have died recently, which raises suspicion that some infectious disease is the reason behind this.
Local MLA J.V. Kakaria has written a letter to Forest Minister Moolu Beda demanding an investigation into the matter. He feared that many lions had died of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) in the past, and this virus may also be behind the recent deaths. However, the Forest Department has so far dismissed any such apprehension.
