it is strange to see that the minister waits for cases to be reported at hospitals .Mnay a times these cases are not even reported to higher authorities till they become an epidemic.the minister should have immediately ordered medical examination of all people living in surrounding areas .I hope he will understand the gravity of the situation. Also if u all remember the advertisement in the tv channels that chicken is safe to eat in india ...it appeared about the same time bird flu was detected in china and other countries... Request all to stop consumption till govt comes with a certification for all chicken which states that they have medically certified itto be safe for consumption...this is a case of food adultration..I hope concerned authorities will look into this matter
