In a shocking incident in Gondahoor, Chhattisgarh, a mad dog bit two milking cows in a local village. About two months later, these cows succumbed to rabies. Unaware of the situation, the cow owner sold the milk to the villagers. This created panic among the villagers when the cows died recently. Health department officials have now set up a camp in the village and administered rabies injections to all villagers who consumed the milk. Villagers accuse the cow owner of knowing about the dog bites, as he secretly took rabies vaccines himself. The incident has led to a ban on consuming cow milk and sweets in the village.
As fear of rabies spreads among villagers, the issue has become the talk of the town. However, health officials assure that there is no danger. They have administered rabies vaccines to all villagers as a precautionary measure. The incident occurred in PV-4 village of Vivekananda Gram Panchayat in Pankhajur, Chhattisgarh.
Milk dairy activities are common in this village, where many people rear cattle. One cattle farmer in this village had two milking cows. Two months ago, these cows were bitten by a mad dog. Despite the incident, the farmer continued to sell the milk. Two months later, the cows died of rabies. The farmer secretly took rabies injections at the hospital without informing anyone.
The farmer sold the milk of the rabies-infected cows to three Bengali families in the same village. Recently, during a Satyanarayana Katha event in their homes, they made offerings with this milk and distributed sweets throughout the village. When the news of the cow's death spread, it caused anxiety among the villagers. Once the health department became aware of the situation, officials set up a camp in the village and administered rabies vaccines to all the villagers.
