Udupi, April 21: Scientists from the Southern Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (SRDDL), Bangalore, on Friday visited Henberu hamlet coming under Paduvari Gram Panchayat near Byndoor, where 83 heads of cattle died over the last one week.

Nagaraj Marvanthe, Veterinary Officer, Byndoor, told The Hindu that the scientists from the SRDDL had investigated the ailing cattle at the Henberu hamlet and also visited the areas where garbage had been dumped in the village.

He said there was no death of any cattle on Friday, but confirmed that two heads of cattle had fallen sick.

The report on the samples of the dead and ailing cattle sent to the Institute of Animal Health and Veterinary Biologicals (IAHVB), Bangalore, was expected in a couple of days. The cause of the deaths would be known only after the report was received, Dr. Marvanthe said.

In-charge Panchayat Development Officer of Paduvari Gram Panchayat Manjunath Shetty said that carcasses of six dead pigs were found thrown near National Highway 66 in Othinene area on Friday. The gram panchayat got the carcasses buried to prevent any outbreak of diseases.

The Gram Panchayat also requested the Byndoor police station to increase surveillance in the area to prevent disposal of carcasses. This problem of throwing such carcasses by the side of the National Highway 66 had been prevalent for some time. It should be stopped, he said.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
