Karimnagar: We have heard of officials auctioning off scrap, or abandoned vehicles and similar items. But ever heard of government officials auctioning a fighter rooster? Well, the Karimnagar district headquarters bus stand will witness such a rare auction on Friday, that of a fighter rooster. TSRTC officials will take up the auction at Depot-II at 3 pm.

RTC officials had found the fighter rooster in a bus at the Karimnagar bus-stand on Tuesday. A passenger, who travelled in the bus from Warangal to Vemulawada, had left behind a bag which had the rooster in it. Finding the abandoned bag in the bus, the conductor informed the controller, who was shocked to find the rooster after opening the bag. Later, the rooster was shifted to Karimnagar depot-II, where it was provided food. After waiting two days for its owner to collect the bird, depot officials decided to auction it.
