Earlier, CM Yadav in a discussion with the ministers before the cabinet meeting, said that some important decisions have to be taken soon in honour of the cow in the state
"Often during the rainy season, there are reports of accidents involving cows on roads and highways. Many times, cows are killed in accidents. Therefore, there should be a system that ensures that cows are not wandering on the streets and are given space in cow sheds or safe places. Apart from this, a decision will be taken to increase the amount and honorarium for cow shelters. Necessary arrangements will be made for the cow," the CM said.
Yadav also announced that a necessary budget allocation would be made for the cremation of the cows.
"If any cow dies, arrangements should be made for her respectable cremation. The responsibility of the Gram Panchayat, Municipal Council and Municipal Corporation will be determined in this regard," the CM added.
