"A red alert has been sounded to prohibit import of poultry from outside the State, including neighbouring Bangladesh, which shares a 856-kilometres porous border with Tripura," they added.
Border security Forces (BSF) personnel and special surveillance teams are keeping vigil in border areas, the sources said.
