Informing that the vultures were migrating from one place to another and they had arrived here on April 16, they said that the vultures may have halted there as carcasses of cattle were found in the area.

The Himalayan vultures were spotted near a slaughterhouse along the Jowai-Dawki main road on April 18.
A local meat vendor had informed that some of these vultures had even tried to steal meat from the nearby stalls.
