In New Delhi, though there was no report of avian flu, traders are taking all measures to check the spread of bird flu.

Confirmation of the H5N1 strain came after authorities received the results from two Government laboratories. In Imphal, a town of some 200,000 people, many residents have stopped buying chicken and eggs, important items in the diet of a majority of people in the state.

In the past, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan have also witnessed outbreaks of the H5N1 strain of bird flu.

New Delhi has banned poultry trade with bird flu-hit nations such as China, Bangladesh and Myanmar, but officials are worried about people bringing poultry illegally across the frontiers.
