| The Animal Husbandry department of Maharashtra government has sent a team of bird flu experts to West Bengal in order to assist the state government to deal with the outbreak and controlling the disease.
''We have sent eight people to West Bengal to assist the state administration involved in containing spread of bird flu,'' Maharashtra state Animal Husbandry Commissioner Ashish Sharma said from Pune.
They will use their expertise in dealing with the disease as the first outbreak of this disease was in Maharashtra, Sharma said.
''The team is headed by a Deputy Director, posted in the Investigation wing of our department, two officers involved in culling process when bird flu struck in Navapur and Jalgaon and two others who are aware of the procedures,'' Sharma said.
The officers would be handling some of the culling teams in areas affected by bird flu.
''Joint Commissioner Animal Husbandry Department, Government of India, A V Negi is coordinating with the teams being sent from various states to West Bengal for assisting the state government. We asked our team members to communicate with him,'' the Commissioner said.
He also hoped that West Bengal government would refer to the reference material on containing spread of the disease documented by Maharashtra government during its outbreak in February-March 2006.
