Multiple cases of rabies have been reported from Manipur’s Churachandpur, after which authorities have put restrictions in place and declared containment zones.<\/p>\n
The cases of rabies started surfacing since last week and New Zouveng village in Churachandpur district has been declared a containment zone.<\/p>\n
Since January, 749 people have been bitten by dogs and 3 persons, according to official sources, have died due to rabies.<\/p>\n
Multiple confirmed and suspected cases of rabies have now been reported from New Zoveng village, posing a serious threat to the health and safety of the people and animals, sources said.<\/p>\n
District Magistrate Dharun Kumar has strictly prohibited the movement of “domesticated pets\/dogs in and out of the village”.<\/p>\n
He also directed the identification and vaccination of all pet and stray dogs in the village.<\/p>\n
Surveillance, door-to-door monitoring, and health check-ups will be conducted. The sale and transport of domestic dogs are strictly banned during the containment period, he added.<\/p>\n
Any person found violating the order will be liable for penal action, the order said.<\/p>\n
Quick Response Teams constituted by the Veterinary department carried out surveys at the New Zouveng village.<\/p>\n
During the drive, about 30 households have been surveyed.<\/p>\n
The survey teams have vaccinated all the dogs owned by the households and provided them with a certificates.<\/p>\n
District Veterinary Officer, Dr Veithienneng, has said insufficient supply of vaccine is the biggest challenge in tackling the outbreak.<\/p>\n
Every year, rabies claims over 60,000 lives globally, with India alone accounting for nearly 36 percent of those deaths, according to the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
