Bilal MaqsoodBilal Maqsood, a well-known musician, shared a video on social media showing a large number of dead crows in Major Khalid Shaheed Park, located in Defence, Karachi. The video has sparked concern among citizens about the possible cause of the incident.
Maqsood mentioned that for the past several days, he had been seeing two or three dead crows in the park each day. However, one day he came across an alarming sight — around 50 to 60 dead crows scattered across the area.
According to Rafi-ul-Haq, spokesperson for the Horticulture Society, the sudden deaths might be linked to poisoning. He explained that crows and kites often feed on garbage, and it is possible they consumed something toxic from contaminated waste.
Later, a team from the Sindh Wildlife Department visited the park to investigate the matter. However, since the garbage bins had already been cleared, no evidence or dead birds were found during their inspection. The incident has raised serious concerns about environmental health and waste management in Karachi.
