AP has been hit by severe Bird Flu..!?

Both telugu states have been hit by Bird Flu. Due to the spread of bird flu, more than one lakh chickens have died in both states. Due to this, restrictions have been imposed in telangana as well as AP. The movement of chickens is being blocked everywhere in Telangana. Large-scale check posts are being set up at the borders of all districts and the movement is being controlled. At the same time, the dead chickens are also being buried in deep pits without anyone touching them. Regarding AP, minister Atchannaidu has ordered officials in all districts to be on alert. He expressed concern over the death of thousands of chickens due to bird flu in both the Godavari and krishna districts. He suggested that the situation should be reviewed from time to time and zones should be set up and monitored accordingly. He issued orders that veterinarians should be available at the field level to examine the dead chickens and send the samples to the lab.
Minister Atchanna suggested that biosecurity measures be implemented at poultry farms. Orders were issued to prevent transport vehicles from moving near the relevant poultry farms. The minister made it clear that the transport of chickens from the relevant areas should be banned until the situation is brought under control. Already, more than 70,000 chickens have died due to bird flu in various districts of the state. The minister also said that people should be vigilant in areas where bird flu has occurred. In the telugu states, a business worth crores of rupees is done every day on chickens alone. From famous restaurants.. to the meat stall at the end of the street.. everyone's business depends on chicken. Even though there are other meats.. the demand for chicken is different. Market groups say that this will stop the business worth 2 to 3 crore rupees per day. Currently, in both the telugu states.. strict restrictions have been imposed on the consumption and transport of chickens and meat shops have also been closed.
