Thousands of bats eating trees..!? Nipah virus panic..!?

Until recently, the countries of the world were trembling with the fear of Corona. Things are getting a bit tense right now. Cases are not being registered except in some places. Especially in India, the cases have decreased. Another virus is now haunting you before you breathe. The Nipah Virus is once again causing tremors in Kerala, which has become a hub for viruses. Six people have already lost their lives due to this virus. The impact is most visible in Kozhikode. The government has announced containment zones in those surrounding areas. Nipah has also arranged a special mobile vehicle for the tests. karnataka and rajasthan are on alert. No one was ordered to go to Kerala. The people of kozhikode are remembering the days of Corona. They are afraid of who will get infected with this virus. In the process of worrying like this, they are seeing more and more frightening scenes. Karunapuram village in kozhikode has 15 acres of giant trees. The people there are disturbed just by looking at those trees which give fresh air. The reason is that those trees are more like bats than nuts and fruits.
Generally, bats come to the trees (Fruit Bats) in that area. But... since July this year, the number has increased tremendously. They are eating whole trees. From July until now, a few thousand bats have been hanging on those trees. Staying there. That's not all. coffee plantations and cardamom plants were completely destroyed. They are biting the fruits and nuts of the trees. Because of this fear, the locals are not even looking at a single tree there. Even by mistake, there is no cutting and eating of ripe fruits. If the Nipah virus is spreading...they are worried about the arrival of thousands of bats. health department officials are coming and trying to create awareness. Apart from open tanks, ponds, wells...we are advised to be very careful wherever water is found. Awareness is being spread that there is a possibility of bat waste in that water and there is a risk of spreading the virus through them. As soon as the fruits are seen, bats bite them. But...the locals tried to explode bombs to drive away these bats. The authorities did not agree. If they do that, there is a danger that they will scatter and dump their waste wherever they fall. He explained that efforts are being made to remove the bats from there while preserving those trees. According to the details of the officials, there may be at least one lakh bats in that area. These figures are still disturbing the locals.
