The Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV) expressed anguish over the incident and alleged that the cows are dying daily on the roads due to the unscientific manner in which the highway works are being executed by the IRB infrastructure Developers, entrusted with the task of NH- widening.

A case under Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act was registered in Udupi district in this connection based on a complaint lodged by an eyewitness, police sources said.
