India need not be afraid of BIRD-FLU to such an extent as to throw away all that is in the hands and to run mad. Indians as an ethnic community have a great degree of resistance to any sort of flu for that matter. It is the US and the western countries that have a major threat in any type of flu.
In the US alone, every year about 2,00,000 people are hospitalized and 36,000 die out of ordinary flu (Influenza) DESPITE VACCINATION. It is a country that has to take all the precautions against Bird Flu. But, making use of these fears, some vested interests are creating artificial infections here and there, and are also corrupting key officials to somehow keep the issue of bird flu burning so that sale of TAMIFLU and similar medicines is always ON.
One search in Google, with keywords like Tamiflu, Rumsfeld can yield you a good amount of information and an insight into possibly what and WHAT ALL could have happened and is happening still.
Despite 3 declared outbreaks of Bird Flu in India, the total human deaths attributed to Bird Flu in India still stands still at ZERO. This reconfirms the fact that Indians as an ethnicity are more resistant to FLU, Indian poultry farms are maintained on much much better conditions than in the surrounding countries. Also that, Indian system of cooking no scope for the survival of viruses, if any.
So, I suggest the citizen to use your discretion and not be unduly scared. Keep rearing chicken and keep eating chicken.
Indian poultry industry is worth 29,000 crores. India annually produces around 160 millions Layer birds (egg-producing hens), around 1500 million Broiler (meat-type birds) birds, is ranked 3rd in egg production and 5th in broiler production. Farms where these birds are reared are on highly bio-secured environments with comprehensive exhausting list of vaccinations against various bacterial & viral diseases, state-of-art management, feeding and watering systems for poultry flocks.
The news of Bird-Flu outbreaks is more seen in those birds that are of 'Desi' types, which are not much properly vaccinated and fed. Point to ponder - how many of us know which diseases strike stray animals which are not kept as pets?? An appeal to common lay-man from a veterinary professional like me - DO NOT GET SCARED BY NEWS ON BIRD FLU. Keep eating eggs and chicken meat as it is one of the totally safe, cheapest and best sources of balanced protein.
Margram in Birbhum district is a predominant muslim area, and tons of bangladeshi muslim infiltrators use this place as a staging point after illegally coming to India.
Bird flu is now dominating in more than 50% of districts of Bangladesh (Official figure).
The virus came to Margram thro' Bangladeshi infiltrators.

The other place is South Dinajpur. They are not providing the name of that place, but being bordeing district, most likely it also came thro' illegal people.

There is no bird flu in bengal just this report is to defame the left govts rule of people in the state.The minister of poultary denied any bird flue reports and claimed that he will be happy to go and eat tandoori chicken in any house who invites him .In fact the left govt is having a party where chicken imported from china will be served ,Bird flu is a diinformation campaign launced by BJP/RSS combine .

Are CPI(M) and AQ kinda related? And, Tathagata, I can't hear 'DOWN WITH AMERICAN FASCISM' etc these days - and these guys have suddenly started saying that capitalism is the way since the win of Mr N Modi. A complete U-turn - that means another 'historic blunder'!!!!! Ha ha. I know some of the comies were expert in burning effigies of US leaders. In US, the effigies may not be available easily - in case they go there, I was thinking a prearrangement might be a better option for their effigy burning ceremony on the streets Manhattan.

It is a surprise that Borabazar fire is continued for 4 days. This shows the administrative efficiency of the Government. Just imagine if borabazar fire would have been in Gujarat NDTV would have abused N.Modi for next 2-3 years.

We can blame the government if it cannot contain the flu from spreading ! Before that how can a government be responsible for the bird flu ? This epidemic should be immedietly brought under control and proper steps should be taken so that no life is lost due to this ...

Having stayed in other parts of India for a reasonable length of time, I have realised that bashing the Benaglis and Bengal as a state (bashing Sourav Ganguly is just a corollary) is one of the favourite passtimes of many Indians !!! This sounds strange , but its true ... people in this forum even dare to say that "bengal is doomed for years to come" !!! hahahahaha .... these people seldom realise that they make themselves a laughing stock in front of others when they preach their ignorence abt Bengal ! May be these people have a Bengali boss in office or their wives might have run away with a Bengali !!!! Otherwise they may be callous, uncultured brute who thrive on hating others !!! They really need a phsychiatric treatment ... Ranchi Mental asylum is a good place , or if they cannot afford that , we have our Gobra Mental Hospital in Kolkata ... To those guys who try to defend Bengal's pride - Try to ignore these mails , pity them and then forgive them ... these people don't know what they are saying !!! They are basically frustrated losers. When there was a bird flu outbreak in Maharastra some time back , nobody was blaming the Marathas or the Mahrastra Govt ... BJP, RSS or Congress ... but now that the unfortunate thing has happened in West Bengal, people are mocking at the state of BEngal in the pretext of mocking the Left parties ! This is preposterous ... these guys lack the minimum knowledge, humanity and courtesy ... they are not suitable to stay in a civilised so
