Maharashtra’s Amravati district reported 6,900 new bird flu cases on Wednesday.
Maharashtra’s Amravati district reported 6,900 new bird flu cases on Wednesday, officials said. This was followed by Nandurbar district (19 cases) and Jalna district (12 cases). Samples are being sent to Bhopal’s National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases and Pune’s Animal Disease Investigation Section for testing to contain the bird flu spread. “According to the provisions of the Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Animals Act, 2009, we are declaring ‘infected zones’ wherever there is a positive case in poultry birds and ducks. All the poultry birds and eggs within a radius of 1 km from a poultry farm have been scientifically destroyed,” the state government said.
A prominent seer, Pranavananda Swamiji, alleged that mutts backing Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to take over the top post were denied any allocation in the state budget presented by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. He reiterated his support for Shivakumar to take over as the chief minister.

India's original Dhurandhar, Ravindra Kaushik, rose from acting at college theatres, to infiltrating the Pakistan Army as a RAW Agent. He provided critical intelligence on Pakistani troop movements and the country's nuclear programme, but died a lonely death after his betrayal and subsequent capture by the ISI.

According to the police, 19-year-old Sachin Dharmendrabhai Chaudhary, who works as a labourer, had borrowed the money before expressing his inability to repay it immediately, police said. He was allegedly threatened with his life over the delay in repayment. Fearing for his life, Sachin immediately alerted the police.
