Livestock suffer from Lumpy Skin Disease at Bhatkal: Lone Gir Cow Dead
Bhatkal: In the background of livestock suffering from Lumpy Skin Disease in the jurisdiction of the Marukeri gram panchayat in the Taluk, dairy farmers in the region have been experiencing widespread panic and fear.
The livestock in the region was observed to be suffering from Lumpy Skin Disease. In the wake of this development, a Gir cow - valued at 50 thousand rupees- belonging to a man named Ganapathy Hegde, passed away because of the disease.
The disease is reportedly rising in aggressively in the region. Accusations are afloat that neither the local panchayat nor the officers with the animal husbandry department have approached the dairy farmers to educate and inform them about precautionary measures.
“There has been an increase in Lumpy Skin Disease among livestock in the Taluk and the vaccination drives are happening in full swing. This is the first death associated with the disease, reported in the Taluk. Already, more than 11,000 livestock have been vaccinated. The vaccination work is slowing down now due to a shortage of staff. The spread of the disease can be brought under control if the farmers identify the sick livestock, and provide them with appropriate treatment in isolation. In case a cow does die because of the disease, compensation will be handed out if the local animal department is informed in this regard.”

Congress misleading public on National Herald case, matter still in court: BJP
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday accused the Congress of running misleading propaganda over the trial court's decision in the National Herald case and said the court refused to take cognisance of the complaint but did not set aside the case.
The case is still pending trial in the Delhi High Court, and the trial court in its order on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) can continue its investigation, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted.
"The court yesterday (Tuesday) said that since it is a private complaint and no FIR has been lodged, it will not take cognizance of it. It's a technical matter. The court also said that ED can continue its investigation further. The court did not set it aside," Bhatia told a press conference at the BJP headquarters here
"Its trial is still going on. Sonia Gandhi is still Accused Number-1 and Rahul Gandhi Accused Number-2," the BJP spokesperson said, alleging, "The Gandhi family thrives on deceit, deception, and propaganda."
