No Bird Flu detected in Delhi s poultry, all samples taken from Ghazipur market test negative
All 100 samples taken from the Ghazipur poultry mandi, Asia s largest chicken market, have tested negative for bird flu, officials said on Thursday. The results come three days after samples taken from crows and ducks in the national capital tested positive for avian influenza.
This had led to the Delhi government on Monday banning the sale of processed and packaged chicken brought from outside the city. The government had also shut down the poultry market for 10 days as a precautionary measure.
Earlier, the officials had said that 10 samples from three areas – Mayur Vihar Phase-3, Sanjay Lake and Dwarka Sector-9 – tested positive for avian influenza.
