JAIPUR: A day after an 11-year-old boy died of avian influenza, making it the first recorded death due to bird flu in the country this year, the health and animal husbandry department said the state was adhering to the guidelines issued by the Centre regarding avian flu.
The state also asserted that if the Centre suggested a few more additions or amendments in the guidelines, it would stick to that.
Officials said no case of avian flu had been reported in this month so far.
“No avian flu influenza outbreak has been reported from anywhere in the state.I think the animal husbandry must be working on the guidelines,” said health secretary Sidharth Mahajan said.
