  1. Mysuru on High Alert After Bird Flu Outbreak in Karnataka Mysuru: The Mysuru district administration has stepped up surveillance following the outbreak of bird flu in various parts of Karnataka. Though no cases have been detected in the district so far, the authorities have declared a high alert to prevent the virus from entering the region. Strict monitoring is underway, with checkpoints established at strategic border locations. One such checkpost has been set up at Bavali village in H.D. Kote taluk, which shares a border with Kerala, where officials are conducting continuous screening. With neighboring Kerala witnessing a rise in bird flu cases, the administration is not taking any chances. Special vigilance has also been placed on poultry transportation, with vehicles entering Mysuru being carefully inspected to avoid infected birds slipping into the district. Recent bird flu cases in Bellary, Raichur, and Chikkaballapur have resulted in the deaths of large numbers of poultry, prompting Mysuru authorities to act swiftly. Officials from the Health and Animal Husbandry Departments are conducting regular checks and keeping close watch on poultry farms. Awareness teams have been deployed across villages to educate farmers and the public about the symptoms of bird flu, preventive measures, and the importance of reporting unusual bird deaths. Pamphlets and outreach programs are helping spread critical information.

  2. Farmers and poultry workers have been instructed to notify authorities immediately if they come across sick or dead birds. Veterinarians are guiding poultry handlers on preventive steps such as disinfecting vehicles, using protective gear, and maintaining strict hygiene standards. The public has also been reassured that eating properly cooked chicken does not transmit the virus. Bird flu primarily affects those in close contact with live birds, not through human-to-human transmission. The Animal Husbandry Department has issued clear safety guidelines: avoid touching sick or dead birds, keep children away from birds, wash hands thoroughly with soap after handling, and wear masks while working in poultry farms.

  3. Authorities emphasize that while the situation demands caution, there is no need for panic. Immediate reporting of abnormal bird deaths remains the most effective step in preventing a possible outbreak in Mysuru. With the district administration maintaining vigilance and the public actively cooperating, Mysuru aims to stay free of the infection despite the rising number of bird flu cases in neighboring areas.
