NLN Correspondent, NUWAKOT:
Amidst the growing threat regarding the outbreak of Bird Flu, thousand of chickens have died in Nuwakot, a district, which has close geographical proximity with Kathmandu Valley.
This mass death of the poultry came out of blue.
The chickens belonging to Nava Raj Adhikari started to die since Friday night. Adhikari owns the poultry firm in Bidur Municipality of the district.
Till Saturday, the unknown disease killed the chickens numbering around thousand, informed seemingly disappointed Adhikari, adding, "Chickens started to die soon after the pus began to flow from their mouth,"
Even the veterinary doctor was also not able to diagnose the actual reason for the mass elimination.
With an aim to conduct preliminary examination, the doctor sent the samples of dead chickens to the Kathmandu, said the veterinary official based in the district.
The detailed result of the medical test is yet to come.
The mass death of the poultry is first incident of its kind in the district, according to locals.
