He said that rumours of bird flu in Jammu and Kashmir have reduced the number of customers by around 60 per cent.

“We have suffered huge losses during Covid-19 lockdown, even now we are unable to pay rent to shop owners, Pratap said, adding that, the government must inform people that no case of flu has been reported in J&K and consumption of poultry products is safe.

The owners of hotels and restaurants in different areas of Jammu and Kashmir also said that despite no cases in J&K, people have stopped eating poultry products which resulted in the reduction of over 50 per cent work.

Ishfaq Ahmad a poultry dealer from Pulwama said that most traders associated with poultry have themselves stopped selling poultry products after there was no demand for them.

“I used to sell at least 2 to 3 thousand chicken on daily basis days to traders but from last few days there is no demand for poultry products,” he said. “We have already suffered huge losses in last two years, we can’t bear any more losses.”

People associated with poultry requested government to look into the matter and help them financially so that they can heave a sigh of relief

It is pertinent to mention here that so far cases of bird flu have been reported from nine states of India.

Doctors and experts in J&K have also advised people not to use raw products of poultry as a precautionary measure—(KNO)
