# 450 in UP village get anti-rabies shots after cow milk scare 2026-10-23T04:53:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Around 450 people in Dadi Khas village, Gorakhpur district, have received anti-rabies vaccines after consuming 'charanamrit' prepared from a cow's milk during Durga Puja. The cow died on 20 October amid suspicions it had been bitten by a stray dog, though rabies has not been confirmed. Of the vaccinated, 50 received the shot at a community health centre on 20 October and another 400 at a health camp on 21 October. The cow's milk had also been supplied to two shops and households in Dadi Khas and neighbouring Govindpur village, raising concern. Veterinarians said the cow's symptoms raised suspicion of rabies, but testing was required to confirm. Health officials advised people concerned to consult doctors and boil milk thoroughly before consumption. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets offer near-identical factual reporting of the rabies scare in Dadi Khas village, with no discernible slant. CNBC TV18 provides slightly more detail, naming the cow's owner, consulted veterinarians and health team members, while Kalinga TV gives a more condensed account. The uniformity suggests both relied on similar official briefings. Neither outlet questions the official narrative or adds independent medical context beyond what local veterinarians and health officials stated. The key open point remains whether rabies will be confirmed through veterinary testing, which both outlets note has not yet been done. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - cnbctv18.com (neutral report) Straight factual report with extensive official and medical details - kalingatv.com (neutral report) Condensed factual report with same key facts This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
