On outbreak of Avian Flu in certain parts of India in the past, Omani Ministry of Agriculture, Sultanate of Oman have imposed ban on import live bird products from India.
Immediately on receipt of this information, Government of India took up the matter with Omani Authorities through diplomatic channel and impressed that Avian Flu is limited to selected pockets of North Eastern Region of the country and also blanket ban on import of live bird products from entire India is unjustified.
