₹3.01-cr. compensation given to duck farmers in Alappuzha

The State government has distributed ₹3.01 crore as compensation to 65 duck farmers who suffered losses following a recent bird flu outbreak in the district.

The compensation distribution was inaugurated by Animal Husbandry Minister J. Chinchurani at Karichal St. George Orthodox Church Parish hall on Saturday.

Ms. Chinchurani said that several duck farmers in Kuttanad had suffered huge losses due to avian flu. “When the bird-flu outbreak was reported, both the State government and respective local self-government institutions acted promptly. It helped check the spread of the disease. The government has been able to provide compensation in a time-bound manner,” the Minister said.
