A meeting chaired by Chief District Officer Krishna Bahadur Raut decided to ensure that all imports of chicken, chicks, eggs and meat are free of the virus.
For this purpose, the meeting decided to set up veterinary check posts in various locations. Vet check post would be set up at Mangaltar, Sangha and Nala along with police check posts.
