Chicken die of unknown disease in Tinsukia
Death of more than a thousand broiler chicken due to a mysterious disease since the last 15 days at Guijan area, 10 km from Tinsukia district has caused panic in the region. Surprisingly, the district administration is yet to ascertain the cause of the deaths, even as the general people of Guijan have started to panic. Meanwhile, allegations are rife that the broiler chicken traders of Guijan are secretly dumping off the dead chicken into the nearby Dibru river. The people are of the opinion that the chicken traders have not informed them so that they do not stop buying and consuming chicken, without being aware of the disease. The traders are playing with the lives of the people, they alleged.
