Lumpy Virus Outbreak in Hathras' Bisawar: Five Cattle Dead, Over Two Dozen Infected

The Lumpy virus has created a severe crisis in the Ghatampur Gram Panchayat, located in the Bisawar area of Hathras district. According to an Amar Ujala report, the outbreak of this disease shows no signs of subsiding in the region. The death of five cattle within the last 10 days has caused significant concern among local cattle owners.

The severity of the disease is evident from the fact that more than two dozen cattle are currently infected with the virus. Large nodules are emerging on the bodies of the animals, which later rupture into deep wounds. The issue of maggots developing in these wounds is also being observed, causing unbearable pain to the animals.

Due to this disease, milk production from the cattle has completely stopped. This has not only negatively impacted the health of the animals but has also cast a shadow over the livelihoods of the cattle owners. Both local residents and the administration are concerned about the situation.

The rising cases of the Lumpy virus have alerted the villagers. The condition of the cattle is deteriorating day by day, making the need for immediate treatment urgent. Villagers have demanded swift action from the administration in this regard.

According to the Amar Ujala report, the situation in Ghatampur appears to be spiraling out of control. Veterinary doctors and officials from the relevant departments are making efforts to contain the outbreak, but the rate of infection remains alarming.

Cattle owners state that if appropriate measures are not taken in time, the number of cattle deaths could increase further. There is an atmosphere of fear in the region as the disease is spreading rapidly from one animal to another.

At the administrative level, instructions have been issued to increase surveillance in the affected areas and to isolate infected animals. However, the situation on the ground remains challenging.

This Lumpy virus outbreak in the Bisawar region of Hathras has emerged as a major challenge for those involved in animal husbandry. All eyes are now on government assistance and effective treatment to prevent the disease from spreading further.
