Hundreds of non-vegetarians on Thursday made a beeline at a makeshift stall in Buxi Bazar, Cuttack to devour chicken pakoras, distributed free of cost. 

With cases of bird flu being reported from different parts of the state, the scare among people bit into the sale of chicken items at roadside fast-food stalls and restaurants as well.

In its move to allay bird flu fear, the All Odisha Poultry Traders’ Association distributed chicken pakoras free of cost. 

A makeshift stall with banners saying ‘Stay healthy and help others to be so by eating and convincing others to have chicken’ was put up at Buxi Bazar. Soon hundreds of people were seen making a beeline at the stall. With no sign of fear in their faces, they savoured crispy and spicy pakoras. 

A few days ago, such free distribution of chicken pakoras was also held in Bhubaneswar, Puri and some other parts of the state.
