Bird Flu: Bangladesh Situation Serious, Indian on High Alert

dia on high alert

Surrounded by bird flu-affected countries, both on the western and eastern borders, India is on high alert, officials said in New Delhi. "India has intensified its surveillance along the borders particularly after bird flu outbreak in Bangladesh, Myanmar and its continuation in China, Pakistan and Afghanistan," Central Animal Husbandry and Dairying Department Joint Secretary Upma Chawdhry revealed.

On August 11 last year India had declared itself to be bird flu-free and continues to be so, asserted Ms. Chawdhry. India continues with the ban on livestock and livestock products as bird flu infection rages through parts of the world including the United States, Europe and South Asia. The ban comes into force "automatically" once avian influenza is reported from any country.

Last year India successfully contained the disease that had struck parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh mostly in backyard poultry. The infection was believed to have been transmitted through migratory birds. Recently the Government denied reports of occurrence of the disease after poultry mortality was reported in a district each in Kerala and West Bengal.

"We have not let down our guard and surveillance and emphasise the need to move quickly and contain the infection at the level of the animal, if it were to occur," Chawdhry added.
