From the past few days, there are heavy opposes from allover regarding the chicken sales in the twin states. So guessing the risk in future, the AP government bans chicken sales completely in the state.

The AP government is restricting the entry of poultry feed and chicks bred in Hyderabad hatcheries. For this it deployed 6 teams at the border of the state

"Yes, we are now stopping vehicles carrying poultry feed in addition to chicks, birds and eggs from entering AP. There is a possibility that poultry feed could also be infected by H5N1," said Dr P D Kondal Rao, head of the AP animal husbandry department. He further said that the ban is going to continue for the next one month and explaining about the details of the deployed teams, the six teams were appointed at Kurnool-Mahbubnagar, Suryapet-Vijayawada, Nagarjunasagar -Guntur, Miryalguda-Guntur and East Godavari-Khammam routes, he said.

The commissioners of sales tax and transport departments have been alerted by the officials of the  animal husbandry to not to allow Telangana vehicles with poultry items into AP.

The Telangana government is yet to take a proper decision on the poultry farms. Due to this, few of the the AP government leaders started opposing the former government saying that it is not able to concentrate on the welfare of the people of its state, chicken is right now the risking factor which is known to everybody, but still the government is not able to take any decision on this, this is the indication of the pure negligence of the government, they said.
