Ludhiana, May 21

The Senior Vets Association today strongly condemned the registration of the alleged “false” FIR against a senior professor of Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU).

During an emergency meeting held here today, Dr Gurinder Singh Walia, former joint director of animal husbandry and member of the Punjab State Veterinary Council, said the case was registered without any logic at the instance of a senior officer of the state government.

He urged the Chief Minister to intervene in the matter so that the veterinary fraternity was not demoralised and terrorised by those in power.

As many as 30,000 cases from across the state and north India were brought for treatment at GADVASU, he added.

Dr Walia lamented that use of brute power by distorting facts was highly condemnable, especially when a senior professor and his team was diligently performing their duty to treat the animals referred to the university vet hospital. He said restraint of dogs was the moral duty of the owner.

Prominent among others present at the meeting were Dr Bimal Kumar Sharma, joint director-cum-incharge, Veterinary Polytechnic; Dr Nitin Kumar, Dr Nirmaljit Mahal and Dr Rajinder Kumar Vasdev, all retired deputy directors, Animal Husbandry Department.
