Shillong, Jan. 16: The East Garo Hills district administration will continue culling for another week even after more than 2,500 chickens were slaughtered.
More villagers have come forward to report the disease in the control rooms set up in East Garo Hills after an increase in the compensation for the loss of chickens and other poultry products was declared. East Garo Hills deputy commissioner Pravin Bakshi today said culling had been carried out within a 3km radius of Williamnagar, where the first few cases of bird flu were reported.
