Bird Flu
Following the outbreak of bird flu in certain regions in Kerala, the state minister for animal husbandry, K Raju, has announced that one lakh ducks will be culled in the state. 
 
“Earlier what used to be done was all the poultry birds in a one square kilometre radius where such birds have been affected would be culled, but this time we have decided to only cull the ducks in areas where affected birds have been identified,” he said according to a report in Mathrubhumi, at a meeting with stakeholders and officials.
 
Meanwhile, with migratory birds arriving for their annual nesting, Odisha government has issued a bird flu alert to all district authorities. Meanwhile, Chandigarh has also reported bird deaths owing to the avian virus and fresh tests from Kota in Rajasthan have come in positive.
