Officials from the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services visited the Kanagalasara village of Shivamogga district after residents complained of the area near poultry farms becoming a breeding ground for flies.

"We visited five poultry farms on Friday and found that disposal of waste products is not being done properly," said Sadashiva, a Deputy Director.

"We will take immediate steps to control the situation by instructing local authorities to close these poultry farms," he said.
