Several culling teams have stopped working in districts of West Bengal hit by bird flu, complaining of corruption.
They say that they are being put under pressure by local politicians to exaggerate the number of birds killed so that more compensation is paid.
Some of the extra money is pocketed by local politicians, they say.
Nearly 200 culling team members have withdrawn from working in Rampurhat and Baroncha in protest against "pressure for false certificates".
