Birdflu: Jharkhand starts vigil
Ranchi (PTI): The Jharkhand government has sent advisories to districts bordering West Bengal to keep a strict vigil on movement of poultry in the wake of outbreak of birdflu across the border, official sources said here on Tuesday.
An official of the Animal Husbandry department, Vijay Kumar, has been made the nodal officer of a controlling cell set up in Dumka district, as Dumka and Pakur districts share borders with West Bengal.
To spread awareness about birdflu, the administration has been asked to distribute pamphlets while district forest officers have been asked to inform if they spot any dead bird in the forests.
A strict vigil was also been kept on migratory birds, the sources said.
Hazaribag, Sahebganj and Jamshedpur are the favourite destinations for migratory birds.
There was no report of any birdflu case in Jharkhand.
