Minister for School Education Madhu Bangarappa instructed the officers to spread awareness about Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) and issue a travel advisory to trekkers visiting the Malenadu region.
The Minister held a meeting with officers of the Shivamogga district administration on measures to stop the spread of KFD, a viral infection in the district.
The Minister felt the need to impose restrictions on trekkers visiting the Malnad areas. “It is better to avoid visiting places near the affected areas. The district administration should issue a travel advisory to the trekkers,” he said.
