To this, the Mayor asked them to give the reply in written.

“I have asked the officials to give a written reply, he said.

Also, the project in which stray animals will be transferred to the Faridkot cowshed has got cleared. Recently, Mayor Jagdish Raja had paid a visit to Faridkot to inspect a cowshed.
