The Animal Husbandry Department has stepped up surveillance and vaccination efforts in Kangra amid growing concerns over the spread of lumpy skin disease (LSD), particularly through the movement and trade of livestock from Punjab and Haryana, where the infection has already been reported. Deputy Director Seema Guleria said that the Animal Husbandry Department had launched a campaign-mode vaccination drive to contain the disease. As many as 1.35 lakh doses of vaccine had been received and around 75,000 animals had been vaccinated so far, he added.
