FAIZABAD: Carcasses of six cows were found at a gaushala in Baldirai sub-district of
Faizabad division of
Sultanpur district.
Talking to TOI, Sultanpur district magistrate Vivek, said, “Over the last seven days, six cows have died. We did an autopsy and buried the animals.
The bovines may have died of old age. I cannot confirm the higher toll alleged by residents. I have constituted a committee under the sub-district magistrate of Baldirai and chief veterinary officer, who are visiting the shelter home every day to take stock of the situation.”
Villagers, however, alleged that cows are starving due to scarcity of fodder.
