Over 6,700 birds were culled on Saturday and Sunday following standard operating procedure (SOP) laid down by the Centre, he Kumar Behera, Chief District Veterinary Officer (CDVO), Puri, said five rapid response teams (RRTs) along with health teams have been deployed in the area where bird flu cases were detected.

After completing culling within a 1-km radius of the village, samples from another five villages have been collected to test for the virus, Behera said.
