In Odisha, a growing outbreak of avian influenza has led to the culling of thousands of chickens after some birds tested positive for the H5N1 strain. According to the disease control director, 1,800 birds have been culled so far, but the number is expected to rise to 20,000 as the situation progresses. Experts warn that the H5N1 virus, which causes bird flu, has the potential to spread not only among birds but also to humans, pigs, and other animals.
Authorities are taking necessary precautions to prevent the further spread of the virus and are urging the public to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines to protect themselves from potential infection..
