In the recent outbreak of avian bird flu (H5N1) in West Bengal during January-February 2008, the Government responded promptly by distributing equipment for culling operations and Tamiflu, which resulted in effective control of the outbreak. The World Health Organization (WHO) rightly issued a warning notice that the outbreak in West Bengal was severe in comparison with the earlier outbreak in Manipur during July 2007.
