Ukhrul, June 11 2022:
A mysterious disease has killed at least nine cows on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday at Leishi village under Phungyar sub-division in Kamjong district.
Confirming the death of the cattle, sources said that the animals were kept at a farm on the outskirts of the village.
The farm belongs to one Samuel, a local of Leishi Village.
The cause of the sudden, mysterious death of the farm animals could not be established as the cattle were found to be healthy recently, sources said.
The death of the cattle was reported on Saturday morning and following the report, local villagers rushed to the farm site to ascertain the incident.
Ukhrul District Veterinary department has been apprised of the matter, the report said.
However, it was not known whether officials concerned of the department have reached the farm site for necessary investigation till the time of filing this report.
Attempts to contact the department officials as well as the cattle farm owner could not succeed.
