1 2 Lucknow: Taking cognisance of the potential threat of bird flu, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday directed concerned departments to coordinate and take measures to prevent the prevalence of the H5 virus in the state. He said that efforts should be stepped up in all zoos, sanctuaries, national parks, etc. On Monday, the bird flu virus was diagnosed in the poultry birds in Rampur after an estimated 15,000 chickens died. The chief minister also instructed the health department to conduct an in-depth study of the potential impacts of H5 avian influenza on human health and present a report to prevent any chain of infection from reaching human society. Stating that the protection of protected animals and birds is the top priority of the state govt, and any negligence will not be tolerated, the chief minister said that guidelines issued by the central and state govts should be implemented strictly in all zoos, bird sanctuaries, national parks, wetland areas, and cow shelters in the state. He further added that zoo premises should be regularly sanitised and, if necessary, blow torching should be carried out. The chief minister has made it mandatory for health checks to be carried out for all wildlife and birds, and food should be provided only after thorough examination. To ensure protection for handlers as well, he added that duties of employees appointed in enclosures should be determined based on the risk level. "All employees should be given detailed information about the symptoms of avian influenza, modes of infection, and preventive measures. Additionally, they should be provided with all necessary safety equipment, including PPE kits, so they can perform their duties safely," he said. Focusing on the poultry sector, the chief minister directed that all poultry farms in the state should be strictly monitored while continuous control should be maintained over the movement of poultry products. The state govt will be in regular touch with national institutions, including the Central Zoo Authority, National Centre for Disease Control, Ministry of Health, Department of Fisheries and Dairy, and Indian Veterinary Research Institute in Bareilly. "Timely, coordinated, and strict action will pave the way for effective control of this potential infection. All relevant departments must work with mutual cooperation and rapid information exchange to ensure the safety of both the citizens and wildlife of the state," he said.

Yogi govt targets filariasis-free UP by 2027, launches eradication drive
The Yogi Adityanath government launched a special eradication drive while working on a war footing to make Uttar Pradesh filariasis-free by 2027, an official said on Sunday. A Mass Drug Administration (MDA) campaign was launched in 195 blocks of 27 districts in the state on Sunday. Filariasis is a disease that spreads through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito, producing symptoms like swelling and milky urine that may appear even after 10–15 years after the mosquito bite. Although filariasis is currently incurable, annual medication given for five years can effectively prevent the onset of the disease. The MDA campaign will run in districts including Auraiya, Bahraich, Balrampur, Basti, Chandauli, Deoria, Etawah, Farrukhabad, Fatehpur, Ghazipur, Gonda, Gorakhpur, Hardoi, Kannauj, Kanpur Dehat, Kanpur Nagar, Kaushambi, Lakhimpur Kheri, Kushinagar, Maharajganj, Mirzapur, Sant Kabir Nagar, Siddharthnagar, Sitapur, Shravasti, Raebareli, and Sultanpur, said an official statement. Launching the campaign, public representatives in 27 districts consumed the medicine for filariasis, it said. Understanding the importance of community participation, the Yogi government has planned a collaborative effort involving multiple departments. The State Rural Livelihood Mission, Education Department, Panchayati Raj Department, and Food and Civil Supplies Department are working together with the Health Department to ensure widespread public cooperation and the ultimate success of the MDA campaign. At the launch of the MDA campaign, Dr. Pinky Jowel, Mission Director, National Health Mission, said that continuous monitoring is being done to ensure the campaign's success, in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision. The drive aims to follow national health standards and achieve its objective effectively, said Jowel. Additionally, the Mission Director has also provided detailed guidelines and protocols to all the departments participating in the campaign. These guidelines have been prepared to ensure an integrated and consistent approach during the implementation of the campaign, said the statement. A key aspect of the public participation strategy is involving women from self-help groups, who will play a vital role in addressing any public concerns or doubts regarding the safety and effectiveness of the medication. The Education Department is actively contributing to this campaign by raising awareness through various school-based activities. Teachers will play an important role in educating students about the prevention of filariasis. Teachers will brief students on filariasis prevention during daily prayer assemblies, said the statement. Additionally, the Food and Civil Supplies Department is also actively involved in disseminating important information about the campaign. The information will be strategically shared at ration shops to ensure that it reaches a large section of the population. The Principal Secretary, Health, emphasised the campaign's importance as a key step against filariasis. He said that the success of the campaign depends on broad public participation and cooperation. To successfully conduct the drive, over 35,483 drug administrators (DAs) and 7,096 supervisors have been deployed on the ground. Information and communication technology equipment has been sent to 195 blocks and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.
