AHMEDABAD: Surveillance was intensified in Sola on Friday, after a sample of chicken was found to be positive for bird flu on Thursday.
Suketu Upadhyay, deputy director, animal husbandry in the Ahmedabad district panchayat, said that no culling activity was undertaken on Friday, as there is no poultry farm within the containment zone. “However, we have taken up large scale fumigation activity in the containment zone of one kilometre radius,” he said.
“Our teams have been working closely with the health department and other departments to ensure that no poultry products are brought in or are taken out from the surveillance zone, which is a 10km radius area,” he added.
