Over the past five days, thousands of chickens have reportedly died, leaving poultry farmers in despair.

Many of these farmers, who had taken loans to sustain their businesses, are now staring at huge financial losses.

Adding to their woes, carcasses of crows have also been found in some areas. Meanwhile, the authorities have started an investigation to determine the cause of the deaths, while samples have been sent for testing to confirm the presence of the H5N1 virus.

The incident has brought back memories of the September 2024 outbreak, which severely impacted the Pipili and Delang blocks, leading to a three-month ban on poultry farming.

The outbreak had also spread to Kendrapara district, resulting in a massive culling operation after the detection of the H5N1 strain.

The current situation is being closely monitored by officials to prevent a repeat of the devastating consequences witnessed last year.

For now, poultry farmers remain on edge, awaiting clarity on the outbreak’s cause and possible containment measures.
