Summary
Over 1,000 mules and horses have been quarantined on the Kedarnath yatra route due to a flu-like outbreak that resulted in the death of 15 animals and symptoms of equine influenza. The Rudraprayag district administration has suspended mule services for three days, while veterinary teams have screened around 2,000 animals, with some receiving treatment. Experts are investigating the situation, and the infected animals will be re-tested after 14 days, as authorities work to ensure proper health protocols and educate caretakers.
