PANJIM:
After the South Collectorate, the North District Magistrate has banned the import
of all birds from neighbouring Karnataka as a precautionary step to avert the possibility
of bird flu in the State.
The
notification prohibits the transportation and entry of birds from the adjoining
State into Goa for a period of 60 days from July 25 to September 22 unless
withdrawn earlier.

confirmed cases of bird flu in Karnataka’s Bidar district.
