Chief Minister gave instructions for investigation
He said that only after the report comes from Bhopal in the next two-three days, their deaths will be exposed.

NORTH LAKHIMPUR, April 27 - Carcasses of pigs floating on the Ranganadi river and lying on its shallow banks have led to panic in many villages and discomfort in Lakhimpur district.


Such incidents have been reported from the downstream areas of the river since April 24, where the dead animals on the river are not only leaving a stinking smell, but also set alarm bells ringing among the people of this riverine area of a possible outbreak of another epidemic amid the lockdown for coronavirus.

....The villagers are also concerned by the nocturnal menace of dogs that scramble to feed on the dead pigs in that area. The outbreak of swine fever in Lakhimpur district and the throwing of the carcasses of the pigs into the river in the upstream areas of the Ranganadi may be the reason of panic in the downstream villages.Thousands of pigs have died across Lakhimpur districts of possible classical swine fever

In Tamera-Mising village under Narayanpur Revenue Circle of Lakhimpur district, hundreds of pigs have been dying in the last three days. Each of the villagers, who keep pigs are losing two-three of them daily on an average these days.
More than 2000 pigs have died so far at Gogamukh on Lakhimpur-Dhemaji district boundary since last week. Symptoms like high fever, unconsciousness, problem in breathing, vomiting, dysentery, loss of appetite, forming of reddish warts near the ear, mouth, legs and groins have been reported in the affected animals from Gogamukh.


.....A pig farmer says that the mortality rate of animals kept in captivity are relatively low than those who roam freely outside the households and visit the paddy fields. However, the State Veterinary department has launched vaccination of pigs in some villages from April 25 onwards.

It may be recalled that cases of pigs dying in large numbers in unknown diseases have been reported since mid-February this year in Silapathar-Chimen Chapori areas of Dhemaji and in riverine areas of Gohpur in Biswanath districts – both neighbouring Lakhimpur.

Due to this, the sugars started getting ill in Arunachal Pradesh and later in Jonai in Assam. In Arunachal Pradesh, pigs have found evidence of African swine flu. Bora said that our animal doctors say that the virus has come from China. Meanwhile, samples of affected pigs have been sent to Bhopal's National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases for examination. The report is yet to come from there.

The situation can be frightening
It is being said that the situation will be appalling if the wild poachers of the state are caught in the disease. Animal doctors say that even after giving injections of classical swine fever, the swine did not do well. Therefore, samples have been sent to Bhopal. 2,226 pigs have died in the state. Six districts of the state are vulnerable to the disease. Selling of pigs and their meat has been completely banned in these districts of the state.

Virus came from Africa to China
According to experts, such a disease was observed in Africa in 1921. From there, the disease spread in China through various countries. Currently, this unknown disease has been found in six districts of the state Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Vishwanath, Dibrugarh, Shivasagar and Jorhat.

Bora further added that ban on the sale of pork in the affected districts will continue, and added that the number of pigs which have died from the virus has risen to 2,226.

..
Meanwhile, Bora confirmed that samples have now been sent to Bhopal and the reports of those samples will come later today in the evening or tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the Government is said to be in talks to see what can be done to allay the financial damages that will be incurred by the piggery business owners.”So that there is no loss to the farmers, that is something we will be looking at”, added Bora.
