Peacock chicks die in temple [1]

The chicks at the Iskcon temple. File picture Krishnagar, July 1: Six out of the 14 peacocks seized by the forest department from the Iskcon temple in Mayapur last month have died, apparently unable to cope with weather fluctuations. Although seized, the birds were left behind in the temple's cages as the forest department had failed to decide on an alternative accommodation. A government veterinary doctor, who went to see the birds on a call from the temple on Saturday, informed divisional forest officer Lipika Roy about the death of six chicks only yesterday.
