Bird flu has been officially confirmed in the Naugachia subdivision of Bihar’s Bhagalpur district after more than 150 crows were found dead, triggering immediate containment measures.
According to authorities, laboratory tests confirmed avian influenza in samples collected from the area. In response, local administrations have launched sanitisation drives and stepped up surveillance to prevent the virus from spreading to nearby poultry farms.
Officials say rapid action is critical because wild birds, especially crows, can act as carriers, increasing the risk of transmission to domestic birds. As a precaution, monitoring of poultry movement, biosecurity checks, and awareness campaigns are being intensified in surrounding zones.
So far, no infections have been reported in poultry or humans. Authorities have stressed that the situation is being closely monitored and that containment protocols are in place to limit further spread.
In simple terms: early detection is helping limit wider risk.
Why this matters: For Gen-Z and young residents in affected regions, outbreaks like this highlight how closely environmental health, animal health, and human safety are linked. Rapid reporting and local cooperation play a key role in stopping animal diseases before they affect food supply or livelihoods.
Officials have urged people not to touch dead birds and to report unusual bird deaths immediately. Surveillance will continue over the coming days as authorities assess whether additional measures are required.
