| Mass cattle death close to Kashipur |
 Thousands of cattle and poultry (hens, cows, calves, buffaloes, goats) in many villages under Kashipur block have died in the last couple of days, triggering panic amongst the people.
It is reported that more than 100 cows at Lakrasi village, 150 at Podipai, 60 at Jhirigumma, 150 at Kutinga and 80 in the Upporopadikhal villages under Mandibisi, Godibali, Sunger and Kodipari panchayat of Kashipur block have died in the recent past.
A team of experts, including veterinary doctors from the animal disease research institute at Phulnakhara, will be arriving here soon to indentify the disease, official sources said.
The veterinary team has advised the burying of the carcasses, which had previously been strewn in the open fields, spreading odour and polluting the atmosphere.
The cause of the cattle deaths is thought to be heavy rain, cold and old age, the team members pointed out.
Another team of clinical investigation scientists from Bhubaneswar will be reaching Kashipur area to collect blood and soil samples to find out the actual cause of deaths soon, sources said.
No symptoms of any such lethal disease have been detected so far from the blood samples, said CDVO Mr SK Takri.
