Administration Takes Stern Action on Stray Cattle
The administration in Bhind district has adopted a stringent approach to tackle the escalating problem of stray cattle roaming the streets. Following directives from Collector Pawan Kumar Jain, Chief Executive Officer of the District Panchayat, Veersingh Chauhan, conducted surprise inspections of various cow shelters across the district along with Deputy Director Animal Husbandry Avneesh Sharma and SDM Mahendra Saujanya.
During the inspection, arrangements at cow shelters located in Babedi, Gora, Nunhata, Kanawar, and Pandri were reviewed. Clear instructions were issued to immediately transfer cattle found on the city streets to the nearest cow shelters. Chief Municipal Officer Virendra Chakraborty has been provided with the necessary directives for this task.
Officials Held Accountable for Stray Cattle
District Panchayat CEO Veersingh Chauhan issued a stern warning, stating that strict action will be taken against the Sarpanch and Secretary of any Gram Panchayat area where cows are found roaming freely on the roads. He also directed that stray cattle owners be identified and legal action be ensured against them.
Panchayats have been instructed to ensure adequate availability of drinking water, fodder, and shepherds for the cattle in their respective cow shelters to guarantee their proper care. The responsibility for the regular operation and cleanliness of cow shelters has been fixed upon the concerned Panchayats.
Arrangements for Upcoming Festivals
In view of the upcoming festivals, the CEO of the District Panchayat also inspected the Durga immersion sites. He instructed the Radio PCO and Panchayat representatives to make arrangements for adequate lighting, sound amplification systems, and security at the immersion sites. Janpad CEOs have been asked to maintain special vigilance to ensure that idol immersions are conducted only at designated locations and that cleanliness is maintained on the ghats after the immersions.
All concerned officials have been directed to prepare a duty chart for these arrangements.
