Berhampur, 3/8: Doctors at a government-run veterinary hospital in Odisha’s Berhampur have removed plastic bags weighing around 30 kg from the stomach of a cow.
It took a four-hour long operation for a team of veterinary doctors, led by Satya Narayan Kar, to remove the undigested polythene bags from the stomach of the 10-year-old cow on Wednesday, Chief District Veterinary Officer of Ganjam, Manoj Kumar Sahu, said.
The stray cow, which used to feed on leftovers dumped in polythene bags by people, ended up with its stomach full of plastic and subsequently its intestines were impacted.
