A number of ponies were discovered dead in the village of Kak, prompting local authorities and animal health officials to investigate the cause.
Local residents of Kak reported finding several ponies lifeless early this week. The sudden deaths have alarmed villagers who rely on the animals for transport and agricultural work.
Veterinary officials from the district animal husbandry department were dispatched to the site to conduct a preliminary examination. Preliminary observations suggest that the ponies may have been affected by a common disease or environmental factor, but no definitive cause has been confirmed yet.
The department has urged owners of other livestock in the area to monitor their animals closely and report any unusual symptoms immediately. A detailed laboratory analysis of tissue samples has been ordered to identify any pathogens or toxins involved.
Authorities have also warned that if a contagious disease is confirmed, containment measures, including quarantine and vaccination, could be implemented to prevent further spread among the region's equine population.
