Five more peahens were found dead in an agricultural field at Bandapalli village nearly 50 kms from here, forest officials said today.
The carcasses were spotted under Chandurty police limits after locals informed the forest officials about the incident, Forest Section Officer B Srinivas said.
After autopsy, the cause of death primarily appears to be due to insecticide in water on the field.
Earlier this week, six peahens were found dead in the fields in the outskirts of Sirikonda village here under Kathlapur mandal limits.
