Lumpy Disease Panic Hits Tripura Dairy Belt

An outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease has triggered widespread panic among dairy farmers in Sepahijala district of Tripura, particularly in Dakshin Charilam, where multiple cattle deaths have been reported.

The situation has raised serious concerns among farmers, who allege that delayed or inadequate veterinary intervention has worsened the crisis. According to reports, the fast-spreading disease has significantly impacted livestock health, leading to fear of further losses and disruption in milk production.

Farmers have voiced strong resentment over what they describe as administrative negligence, claiming that timely treatment and preventive measures could have reduced fatalities. The outbreak has intensified anxiety across the local dairy ecosystem, with stakeholders urging authorities to take immediate action to contain the spread and protect livelihoods dependent on cattle.
