Bird flu resurfaces in Bengal, culling begins (rediff.com)
The bird flu virus has resurfaced in two blocks of West Bengal's Murshidabad district, prompting authorities to take up culling operations. The sale and consumption of poultry has been banned in the affected areas. The state ARD minister said that due to lack of awareness, all chicken in the affected areas may not have been culled when the virus broke out in the state in January.
