It appears that I have been chasing the news directly from the Times of India since it has already been updating Bangladesh's status on a daily basis. But it is beneficial for me and my research in my focus country and it is very convenient to have a news directly from an Indian news source because I believe that news source knows more about the country better than any other American or European news sources.


The monsoon season has nearly destroyed the lives of the people in Bangladesh, especially taking away their homes, and now this issue of bird flu is mentioned in the article. The Tripura Government wanted the Border Security Force to eliminate the chicken/eggs of Bangladesh from coming in the state due to the issue of bird flu. They also requested to spray medicine, which I believe it is an antibiotic or anti-viral spray, on the vehicles coming from Bangladesh. It appears that the Tripura government feared the country of Bangladesh due to its toxicity and unsafe environment. What confused me is that there aren't any cases related to bird flu reported or an avian influenza resulted. I guess the Tripura government was trying to make everything safe for others in the state. But the evidence was presented in the article, saying that 500 chicken died in the last 5 days at Divyodaya Krishi Farm (Khowai sub-division of West Tipura district), and they probably thought the chicken are from Bangladesh. I wonder what happened in Bangladesh and how does the issue of bird flu arise from that country. How did they know i was Bangladesh since they are currently sending blood samples to Central Government-run lab in Bhopal within a week? Now they are accusing Bangladesh of bringing bird flu in the state, but for goodness sake, Bangladesh is under crisis of flooding and poverty, and now it is blamed for bird flu influenzas.
