Nagaland has intensified containment efforts following African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks in multiple districts, including Dimapur, Mon, Mokokchung, Peren, and Niuland. Authorities have imposed bans and restrictions on the sale, transport, and slaughter of pigs and pork products in affected areas, with surveillance zones established. The Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services Department is conducting active monitoring, awareness campaigns, and biosecurity measures. While ASF affects pigs and causes economic losses, it does not pose a risk to human health, and the public is urged to cooperate and avoid panic.
