Dubai, Jan 5 UNI The UAE has decided to continue the ban on Indian poultry products in an effort to allay fears over the reported bird flu outbreak in West

The contrast couldn't have been more stark. World Health Organisation officials were covered top to toe in what looked like space suits while a ragtag crowd of barely clothed villagers handled poultry with their bare hands, in the wake of an H5N1 avian flu virus epidemic in some districts of West Bengal.
The photographs, more eloquent than words, encapsulate the attitude: Caution and protection for officials, to hell with the rest.

Both WHO and government handouts warn of infection risk for those handling poultry without precautionary gear. Even inhaling the air or drinking water in the area contaminated with bird droppings or dust could lead to infection. Yet no efforts to protect villagers were evident though over 35,000 birds have already been culled over two days.
The slow pace of destroying birds suspected of carrying the deadly virus is also because of reluctance on the part of people to give up their birds without compensation. The delay in paying out compensation to poultry owners is an inexcusable failure of the government.

Babus must set aside normal procedure and treat this as an emergency. Poultry farmers are in a vulnerable position not only because of losing their livelihood abruptly but also because they are exposed to the risk of infection.
Reluctant to part with the birds without getting compensated first, many are resorting to hiding the birds in closed spaces in their homes.
When there was a suspected outbreak of the H5N1 avian flu virus in Maharashtra and Gujarat in 2006, swift action was taken. More than 5,00,000 birds were culled in a mere 24 hours under supervision of the national disaster management cell. What happened this time in West Bengal?
Epidemics like the avian flu virus don't announce their arrival. Therefore, dealing with its onset is always an emergency. The matter gets more complicated when agencies responsible for disaster management are lax and fail to coordinate preventive measures swiftly.
Worse, the WHO warns that more serious risk factors are associated with this current outbreak than those previously encountered. Also, this time the affected areas are more widespread. It is believed that the current infection has spread to West Bengal from Bangladesh. How much longer before the H5N1 virus extends to other bordering states?
