Kolkata: The West Bengal government on Wednesday declared that it had completed culling of chickens which was launched on January 16, just days after the outbreak of avian flu. A total of 35.8 lakh chickens have been killed. The total loss due to bird flu is being estimated at Rs. 500 crore. Animal Resources Development Minister Anisur Rahaman told The Hindu: “Around 20,000 more chickens are expected to be culled during the ongoing mopping operations which will continue till February 10.” The situation was now under control. “Only 28 bird deaths were reported on Wednesday and there were no reports of large-scale unnatural deaths; no new areas have been added since February 2 to the list of 15 districts which were reported to be affected. There were no reports of the H5N1 virus affecting human beings.”
