Imphal/ Churachandpur, Apr 7: A house-to-house survey was conducted in New Zoveng village, which was declared a containment zone following the outbreak of rabies, officials said on Sunday.

A Quick Response Team (QRT) of the Veterinary Department of the Manipur government visited about 30 houses in the village and vaccinated all dogs, they said.

A person died earlier this week in the village due to rabies, they added.

The Churachandpur district administration declared the village a containment zone on Friday after multiple cases of rabies were detected. Movement of dogs in and out of the village was banned.
