The Avian Influenza (H5N1) virus has been detected in Nawalparasi. The government had sent samples for test to UK laboratory some days back following death of chickens and ducks in the area.
Following lab test results that confirmed bird flu, the local authorities have restricted transportation of the birds within 500 meters in Dheurali VDC of the district, some 8 km north of the east-west highway.
Large numbers of chicken and ducks have died in Jhyalbas, Guheri, Beluwa, Dihi and Ruksi villages. The dead birds have been thrown into water bodies.
The local authority is preparing to dispatch more medical and technical staffs for culling of birds.
