Pork-Related Illness in Assam and African Swine Fever Outbreak in Nagaland Reported
In Assam's Dhakuakhana area, over 10 people fell ill after consuming pork from a roadside vendor, experiencing symptoms like nausea and stomach pain. The cause remains unconfirmed, though villagers dismissed African Swine Fever (ASF) as responsible. Separately, in Nagaland's Noklak district, New Pangsha village was declared an ASF-infected zone after pigs tested positive, prompting movement restrictions on pigs and pork products to contain the disease. Authorities have advised against pork consumption and enforced biosecurity measures in the affected areas.
