Stray Cattle to be Relocated to Cow Shelters
In Damoh district, stray cattle roaming on roads will now be safely transported to cow shelters. Collector Pratap Narayan Yadav issued strict instructions to officials during a time-bound meeting to take immediate action in this regard.
Under the 'From Road to Cow Shelter' campaign, such cattle will be identified from all urban and rural areas of the district and transferred to the nearest cow shelters. The Collector has directed that the process of shifting stray cattle wandering on the roads to cow shelters be prioritized daily.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the District Panchayat has been authorized to monitor this important task. Meanwhile, officials of the Damoh Municipality have been assigned the special responsibility of capturing cattle in urban areas and taking them to nearby cow shelters.
Expeditious Resolution of Chief Minister's Public Service Campaign and Government Schemes
During the meeting, the Collector reviewed the implementation of the Chief Minister's Public Service Campaign. He directed officials to visit villages and conduct mandatory inspections of all government institutions, offices, and cow shelters located there.
Detailed information must be recorded in the prescribed format during the inspection. Additionally, a public service camp is scheduled to be organized in Nohta next Friday to resolve citizens' issues. Progress on the Ownership Scheme was also discussed, with the Collector emphasizing better coordination between relevant departments for its smooth implementation.
Orders on Court Cases and Road Safety
Regarding court cases, the Collector clarified that it is mandatory for all concerned officials to submit responses within the timelines set by the courts. He warned of serious consequences for any negligence in this matter.
In the interest of road safety, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been directed to keep cow catcher vehicles ready according to prescribed standards, to reduce accidents caused by cattle on the roads.
Priority Resolution of CM Helpline Complaints
Reviewing complaints received on the Chief Minister's Helpline (CM Helpline), Collector Yadav stated that no complaint should remain unanswered. He directed officials to ensure timely and effective resolution of complaints so that eligible individuals can benefit from government schemes.
The Women and Child Development Department has also been instructed to increase the progress of schemes through weekly and monthly meetings. A detailed discussion was also held on the campaign to add new names to the voter list during the meeting.
