Assam Issues Strict SOP to Curb African Swine Fever Spread

To combat African Swine Fever, the Assam government has enforced a strict SOP regulating pig transport. All consignments must carry detailed documents and health certificates. Veterinary teams at interstate entry points will inspect pigs, with 2% randomly tested. Positive cases will lead to culling without compensation. Night transport is banned, vehicle disinfection is mandatory, and violators will face legal action.
