State Animal Husbandry and Dairying Minister JP Dalal said stray cattle, especially cows, would not be left roaming on roads. “Our aim is to build gaushalas for all destitute cows,” he said.

Dalal was giving his statement regarding a non-official resolution brought by Congress MLA Geeta Bhukkal regarding stray animals during the session here today. He said farmers were facing various problems due to stray animals.

Dalal said 600 gaushalas were functional in the state with 4.5 lakh cow and efforts were being made to keep one lakh more cows in gaushalas. Dalal said the budget of gaushalas had been doubled between 2014 and 2022. —

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).
