The Municipal Corporation, Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ), will create a WhatsApp group to catch stray cattle from the twin cities.

For better coordination between officials of different departments, officials of the MCYJ, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Department and managers of gaushalas will be added to this group.

Besides, new sheds will be constructed in gaushalas to accommodate stray cattle.

“To make twin cities free from stray cattle, I held a meeting with managers/operators of gaushalas, officials of Animal Husbandry and Dairying Department and Chief Sanitary Inspectors of the MCYJ recently. At the meeting, the problems related to catching stray cattle were discussed. It was also discussed that a WhatsApp group will be created to catch stray cattle,” said Municipal Commissioner Ayush Sinha.

He added that the MCYJ would give fodder expenses for stray cattle to gaushalas till December 20.

“The arrangement of new sheds accommodating 100 cattle each will be made in all gaushalas of the district. For this, officials of the Animal Husbandry Department should apply on the portal of the Gau Seva Aayog along with the gaushala managers,” said Sinha.

He said the MCYJ would also buy cattle catcher vehicles.
