The Union Ministry of Animal Husbandry directed the Odisha Government to kill all the birds in order to prevent the spread of bird flu to other areas. In Odisha, all poultry will be culled within a three kilometres radius of Keranga in Khordha district following detection of bird flu. About 35000 birds including hens, chickens and ducks will be killed in the process.
Meanwhile, the State Government also stopped supply of eggs for the Mid-Day Meal Scheme in primary schools of Keranga and nearby areas and a ban was issued on the sale of chicken.
