Oman lifts ban on poultry imports from India
The Sultanate of Oman has lifted a ban on poultry imports from India that was put in place after outbreak of bird flu in the country last year, according to an official statement.
India had taken up the matter with Oman authorities saying a blanket ban on import of live bird products from entire India was unjustified as bird flu was limited to North Eastern region of the country.
The statement also said that it was also impressed that the affected birds were culled and isolated to prevent further spread of bird flu.
