We feel it is not enough. The government should facilitate the relocation of the birds since the owners of the shops are financially affected by the decision.

We would like to draw the attention of the authorities to the birds being kept inside many houses as domestic pets. It is necessary that the officials visit houses and administer the required vaccines to the birds to make sure that they are not affected by infectious diseases.

Human beings are more likely to contract the disease from domestic birds than from elsewhere. Therefore, this issue demands urgent attention.
