  • The Delhi Animal Husbandry Unit on Thursday confirmed that avian influenza, or bird flu, hasn't been detected in the poultry birds in the national capital.

    Earlier, some samples from ducks and crows tested positive, triggering panic among civic agencies and authorities.

  • Singh said of the 104 samples received, four were of Heron birds from Hastsal Park, adding they suspect bird flu in these cases. The samples have been sent to Bhopal for confirmation.

    On January 9, the Ghazipur poultry market was closed for 10 days as a precautionary measure after bird flu was confirmed in wild birds, which were found dead in parks across Delhi.

  • Information

    No case of human transmission, says Animal Husbandry Minister

  • The spread of bird flu (transferrable to humans) in India led to a decline in the sale of eggs and chicken, following which poultry farmers reported heavy losses. However, Animal Husbandry Minister Giriraj Singh confirmed "there has been no case of human transmission" in India.

  • While the civic bodies in Delhi issued orders to ban poultry products with immediate effect, both the Delhi Government and the Centre said consuming "properly cooked poultry products" is safe.

    The Delhi Government also issued a notification saying it was safe to eat properly cooked eggs and poultry meat.

    "Avian Influenza is not transmitted through cooked food," said the Delhi Government and the Centre.
