The South Delhi Municipal Corporation in its order said that due to bird flu, wholesale poultry market is to be totally shut and imposed a complete ban on import of poultry or unprocessed poultry meat, as well as on selling, processing, packaging of poultry or poultry meat till the next order. It further instructed all restaurants to not serve poultry meat or eggs, and added that whosoever defies the order, their trade licence would be suspended.

The orders came soon after the Health Department on Wednesday asked people to not panic and follow a set of dos and don’ts.

“Eat only completely cooked eggs and poultry products cooked at 70 degree Celsius for 30 minutes. Do not consume half-cooked chicken or bird or half-boiled and half-fried eggs,” the health department’s notification said.

As of now, several crows and ducks have been found dead in the national capital in the past few days amid the bird flu scare.
