Digital Desk: The Manipur government banned the consumption of pork products on October 25 after new cases of African Swine Fever (ASF) were discovered, causing financial hardship for many pig breeders, stated an official.
According to the statement, the ASF disease, which was first restricted to Imphal city, has spread to other districts around the state.
