Swine Fever-Infected Pigs Seized at Assam–Bengal Border; Syndicate Continues Despite Statewide Ban

Kokrajhar, Nov 21: Despite a strict government ban on the entry of pigs into Assam from outside the state due to the outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF), an illegal supply syndicate continues to operate through the Srirampur Gate at the Assam–Bengal border, raising serious concerns among local pig farmers.

According to officials of the Assam Pig Farmers’ Association (Kokrajhar and Chirang district units), two trucks carrying pigs from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh were intercepted at Srirampur during routine inspection. Veterinary examination later confirmed that the animals had tested positive for ASF.

As per government guidelines, ASF-positive consignments must either be returned to their place of origin or culled and buried following strict biosecurity protocols. However, pig farmers’ associations have urged the authorities to ensure that no burial takes place in Lower Assam BTR, where ASF has not yet been officially detected. They fear that burying infected pigs in this region could trigger the spread of the highly contagious disease.

The seized trucks—one from Haryana (HR 68C 0189) and another from Uttar Pradesh (UP 19T 9510)—were reportedly headed toward Dimapur via Srirampur when the infection was detected.

A thriving syndicate despite the ban

Local farmers allege that an organised syndicate continues to facilitate pig transportation into Assam “under the protection of influential circles”. This persistent illegal inflow, they say, is happening even as the administration has already banned pig movement in seven Upper Assam districts due to the rapid spread of ASF.

The syndicate’s continued operations have triggered alarm among pig farmers in Kokrajhar and Chirang, who fear that infections brought in from outside may lead to devastating losses in the region’s piggery sector.

The All Assam Pig Farmers’ Association has expressed deep concern and demanded immediate intervention from the state government and district authorities to prevent further illegal entry of infected pigs, strict enforcement of the ban, and accountability for those facilitating the syndicate’s activities.
