Chandigarh, Aug 17 (UNI) Over cattle menace, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saturday alleged that all steps taken by the previous government to create and maintain gaushalas and cattle pounds had been withdrawn and even cow cess not being used properly.
The SAD asked the Congress government to take emergent steps to protect the life and property from the menace of stray cattle.
In a statement here, former minister Bikram Singh Majithia said the state had witnessed scores of gruesome deaths at the hands of stray bulls besides accidents due to stray cattle in the last few months. “Farmers are also at the end of their tether with whole fields being laid to waste across the state. Towns and cities are facing an acute crisis with cattle roaming free and spoiling green belts besides causing traffic hazards on State highways”.
