JALPAIGURI - April 16 - Anthrax fear has gripped the Gorumara Forest area, after the death of a bison two days ago. Last Wednesday, the bison was found dead in the Gorumara Forest area. It is suspected that it was infected with the anthrax virus.

In the preliminary examination by the veterinary medical team, symptoms of anthrax were found in the bison's body. But, in order to get a detailed report of what exactly happened, body parts of the bison have been sent to Kolkata.

About a month ago, a rhinoceros had died in the same forest, also of suspected anthrax. After this death, however, forest officials are now not taking any chances.

After preliminary examinations, forest officials suspect that there is a possibility of the anthrax virus in the grasses of the Gorumara forest area.
