Bird Flu: Kerala begins culling, but contaminated surroundings remain a worry

Masked men can be seen working diligently in Alappuzha – their one one and only task is to cull lakhs of ducks. The ducks in Kottayam and Alappuzha districts were the first in Kerala to be hit by bird flu’s infectious H5N1 virus strain.

They watch the culling and burning from within the alert zone despite warnings by the district administration.
