INDIA: Bird flu outbreak hits West Begal
Updated
Health officials in India are carrying out a mass cull of more than two million birds and poultry in India's eastern state of West Bengal, as the country battles its worst-ever outbreak of birdflu. Officials are nervously watching for any sign of the virus spreading to poultry in the huge city of Kolkata. Many householders and small farm-owners have resisted the cull, and there've been reports of villagers attacking veterinary workers, or trying to hide poultry to stop their birds from being killed.
