Telangana Shocker: Govt Officially Bans Chicken Sale!

Telangana is being very careful because many chickens have died in nearby Andhra Pradesh. Over 400,000 chickens have died in the past 45 days. Officials think it might be bird flu. Because of this, Telangana has stopped chicken sales and is not allowing chickens to be brought in from Andhra Pradesh.

Bird flu is a sickness that affects chickens. There are two types: one makes chickens a little sick, and the other makes them very sick and can kill them. In Andhra Pradesh, farmers saw many chickens dying, especially because it's winter, and chickens get sick easier easily. Tests are being done, but it looks like it's probably bird flu. Teams are checking on the chickens and killing any that are sick.

Telangana is not taking any chances. They've stopped chickens from Andhra Pradesh from coming in. They're also checking chickens in Telangana and teaching farmers how to keep their chickens safe. Police are stopping chicken trucks at the border. So far, no chickens in Telangana are sick, but everyone is being careful. Experts think the weather might have caused the problem in Andhra Pradesh.

Experts say people shouldn't worry too much. Cooking chicken and eggs well kills the virus, so they are safe to eat. But, it's good to be careful, and Telangana is doing everything it can to stop the sickness from spreading there. We'll know in the next few weeks if this is a big problem or not.
