After cancelling the auction of the abandoned rooster, TSRTC officials on Friday handed it over to volunteers of the Blue Cross in Hyderabad, in accordance to Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Care and Maintenance of Case Property Animals) Rules 2017.
The authorities called off the auction in the afternoon as it was not permissible under the provisions of the stipulated rules, TSRTC said.
The rooster was abandoned by an unidentified passenger in a TSRTC express bus bound for Vemulawada on Tuesday night. It was kept in the safe custody of the security personnel of the Karimnagar II depot.
