Theni (TN): Ten tonnes of chicken from the poultry farms here was sent back from Idukki district in Kerala today following rumours in the neighbouring state that they were suffering from diarrhoea, which officials said had been done for some "political reasons".
Chinnadurai, Joint Director of Department of Animal Husbandry, said the birds sent to Kerala were healthy and alleged they had been sent back for some "political reasons".
Many of the chicken died due to dehydration after being sent back, he said.
He said the issue had been taken up with the officials of Kerala state and would be sorted out soon.
While Kerala says the 116-year-old dam needs to be replaced with a new dam, Tamil Nadu maintains the existing structure is "as good as new" after measures were taken to strengthen it.
