Bird flu confirmed in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, Telangana. Thousands of poultry have also died in Wanaparthy district. Poultry farmers within a 10-km radius of the village have been instructed to cull poultry showing signs of illness. Checkposts have been set up in Adilabad, Asifabad, and Kamareddy districts to monitor and prevent poultry from being brought in from affected states. Chicken shops have closed down as a precaution, and will remain closed until at least the end of the month. To further protect the region, district authorities have prohibited the transportation of poultry from neighbouring Maharashtra, where bird flu cases have been reported. No chicken will be sold in the district, and this will be strictly enforced. All dead poultry will be buried rather than discarded in the open, authorities have mandated. The culled poultry were then buried to prevent further spread. The first confirmed case of bird flu was reported in Nelapatla village in Choutuppal mandal.
