Bird flu alert in Tripura
Agartala, March 26 (PTI): The Tripura Government has sounded an alert against bird flu in the wake of reports of the disease in neighbouring Bangladesh, officials said on Sunday.
The family welfare preventive medicine and animal resource development (ARD) departments have jointly taken all possible steps to tackle avian flu, ARD director Narayan Chandra Das said.
The Union health and family welfare ministry has asked the state to take precautionary measures as cases of avian flu were reported from across the border, he said. A total of 266 trained ARD assistants have been asked to be vigilant in border areas as Tripura imports a huge quantity of chicks and eggs from Bangladesh, officials said.
