District Collector ensures 100% cattle vaccination against brucellosis in Annamaya district for economic development and disease eradication.
Annamayya District Collector Sridhar Chamakuri on Monday directed officials from the Animal Husbandry Department to ensure the successful implementation of the vaccination programme against brucellosis, aimed at achieving 100% coverage of cattle in the district.
At a meeting held in the PGRS meeting hall at the District Collectorate, Mr. Chamakuri released campaign posters for the ‘Brucellosis Immunisation Programme under the National Livestock Disease Control Scheme’ organised by the Animal Husbandry Department. He emphasised the need to eradicate brucellosis in cattle, while highlighting that there is no cure for the disease and that vaccination remains the sole preventive measure.
The Collector informed that the government’s directive stipulates the provision of free vaccines against brucellosis in three installments annually at all veterinary hospitals within the district or directly at the premises of livestock owners. Bull calves aged 4-8 months must receive vaccination.
He urged dairy farmers and cattle owners to enhance their awareness of the disease’s symptoms and modes of transmission. The event was attended by the officials of the Revenue, Animal Husbandry, Agriculture, and allied departments.

The silent reading movement in the Mylapore-Mandaveli-RA Puram area showed up first at Nageswara Rao Park around two years ago, with modest ambitions, when Balaji launched it along with other reading enthusiasts from the region. This initiative has now moved parks, and seems to set to get entrenched in one. Due to renovation work at Nageswara Park, the reading session became irregular. With the Nageswara Rao park work gaining more surface area, it had to be shifted elsewhere. And it seems set to continue with a newly discovered green patch in RK Nagar in the Sundays to follow.
