Two farmers from Kukdol village walked 15 kms along with their four ailing bulls to reach district collectorate seeking help for treatment of the bovines.
Anar Singh and Dhyan Singh entered the collectorate when a public grievance redressal camp was on.
The people standing in queues were surprised to see the bulls among them, so was Tehsildar Ashish Khare who was hearing the public grievances in absence of Collector AK Singh.
The farmers told Khare that they took the bulls to district veterinary hospital this morning but the doctors there asked them to buy medicine and injections from private drug shops.
The farmers claimed that doctors showed them door when they expressed their inability to buy the costly medicines.
After hearing them, Khare directed deputy Director, Animal Husbandry, to contact the doctors at the veterinary hospital over mobile phone and ensure that bulls are treated.
After the farmers reached the hospital, the bulls were treated by doctors.
Khare told PTI that he has ordered a probe into the refusal by vets to treat the bovines.
