Restrictions on cattle movement in Maharashtra will continue for one more month in view of the lumpy skin disease even as a massive vaccination drive is underway against the viral infection.
Lumpy skin disease: So far 28 districts of Jhansi, Agra, Aligarh, Meerut, Saharanpur, Moradabad, and Bareilly divisions have been affected by this disease in western Uttar Pradesh.
Farmers across India are watching with horror as their cattle collapse across fields, infected with the deadly lumpy skin disease. Rajasthan is the worst-affected state where, since July, over 50,000 cattle have died.
