The decision has been taken in the wake of growing public angst against
the stray cattle menace that has been causing road accidents.

For each cow, the MC will pay Rs 2,000 to these cowsheds. Rs 20 lakh
have been earmarked for the purpose. In a meeting, it was decided that
500 cows will be sent to Dabar Gaushala in Najafgarh in Delhi and 50 to
Gau Sewa Gaushala in Garhshanka, Punjab.

Later, as per requirement, such cattle might be sent to other cowsheds too.

“We will start sending the stray cows to these gaushalas as soon as
possible. This will check the menace to a large extent,” said Mukesh
Bassi, a member of F&CC.

MayorSubash Chawla
said, “Finally, we have decided to shift the cows. According to the
initial figures, over 1,000 such cows will be sent to the cowsheds.”
