Digboi in Assam imposes a 30-day ban on pork following the detection of fresh cases of African swine fever (ASF), according to reports. The measure is taken as a precaution to slow the spread of the disease among pigs and to limit movement of potentially infected products within the area. The ban applies in response to newly confirmed ASF detections in the local setting, with authorities treating the situation as an outbreak risk that requires immediate containment steps. The decision follows the standard approach used in ASF control efforts, which typically include restricting pork and pig-related commerce during the containment window, alongside monitoring and other veterinary public health actions. The ban is set for a fixed duration of 30 days, after which authorities are expected to review the situation based on ongoing surveillance and case status. No additional details on the number of cases, affected farms, or specific enforcement measures were provided in the supplied excerpts.
