More than 2,100 cattle were found infected with the Lumpy skin disease across 10 districts of Madhya Pradesh, prompting the administration to ban the transportation of bovine animals in the affected parts of the State.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, during a meeting held on Friday to review the situation arising out of the spread of the disease, directed the officials that the cattle being brought into Madhya Pradesh from other States should be banned and that extra precaution should be taken in the adjoining areas of the disease-affected districts.
The authorities have already banned the transportation of cattle in the affected areas and districts.
