Earlier last month, the Foreign Secretary summoned the high commissioner of Bangladesh for not sharing vital information regarding the virus and also wrote to the Indian high commissioner in Dhaka asking him to intervene. Bangladesh has so far denied the Indian Government information about the gene sequencing of the virus. According to a WHO report released in April, of the 382 people who have contracted bird flu since 2003, 241 have died. An emergency meeting to address the issue has been called by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on June 3.
