<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -- I am creating a lead section for the wiki page on the virus 2006 H5N1 outbreak in India

An outbreak of the H5N1 virus in India in 2006 seriously disrupted the functioning of the poultry industry in Narapur, negatively effecting the people living in the area as the poultry industry was their main source of income at the time. Soon after a large number of birds were reported dead in the village of Narapur, in the Nandurbar district of Maharashtrathe, the government intervened, first confirming the presence of the bird flu and then destroying large numbers of birds to control the spread of the virus. Residents felt the government overreacted, believing the government had wrongly attributed the reason for the bird deaths; had unnecessarily disrupted their main source of income; and did not compensate them properly for the government's destruction of the birds. Residents also believed that the media caused unnecessary panic over the incident. After the news of the outbreak of bird flu spread throughout India the price of chicken dropped drastically while the price of mutton and fish rose. The government denied any over-reaction to the flu outbreak and stated that they had enough Tamiflu vaccine to protect the Indian population.
