The Haryana Government is making efforts to make the state stray cattle-free while making several significant decisions for ‘Govansh Sanrakshan’ and strengthening of gaushalas.

An official spokesperson said, the gaushalas in Haryana will now get a five-fold increase in the grant for fodder to Rs 20 per cow per day. Besides this, an amount of Rs 25 per day will be given for Nandi and Rs 10 per day for calves as fodder subsidy. For this initiative, a budget of Rs 211 crore has been earmarked.

The spokesperson further shared that the government aim was to create awareness among people to ensure that cows and other cattle were not abandoned on the streets but are instead sent to the nearby gaushala for their care.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
