SHILLONG:
The government has declared the villages of Dalu and Asiragre under Dalu Block in West Garo Hills District as ‘epicenters’ of African Swine Fever (ASF) disease.
This is based on a letter from the North Eastern Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (NERDDL), Guwahati, dated March 31, 2023, which confirms that an ASF outbreak has occurred in Meghalaya. The letter was based on test results of pig tissue samples.
