LALITPUR, MAR 25 - Two days after the detection of bird flu in a poultry farm
in Bhainsepati, the flu virus has been found in another farm in the same place
in Lalitpur district. The farm has been sealed after the confirmation of the
possession of the virus on Sunday.
The virus fresh detection came two days after 6000 chickens were slaughtered
after the confirmation of the flu virus in the farm of Dhiren Gurung.
According to Chief of the District Veterinary Office, Mogal Prasad Sah, the
authorities swung into action after the chickens started dying regularly by
sealing other nearby farms. The owner had complained of chickens dying regularly
in the farm.
The farm is about 50 meters away from Dhiren Gurung’s farm, where traces of
bird flu were found last week.
“We have deployed invigilators to search other places in the area for more
cases,” said Sah. The authorities have been killing the chickens.
