Following recent cases of avian influenza reported from West Bengal, neighbouring Assam and Bangladesh, Tripura today sounded an alert and banned import of poultry from these places.
“We have imposed a ban on poultry import from West Bengal, Assam and Bangladesh following report of outbreak of bird flu in those places. But we have no objection in bringing poultry from Punjab and Haryana because those States are not affected by the disease,” the Director of Animal Resource Department (ARD), Mr Manoranjan Sarkar, said.
