The government has taken cognizance of the death of retired sugarcane manager Karuna Shankar Pandey, resident of Sanjay Nagar, in a bull attack in Bareilly. Livestock and Dairy Development Minister Dharampal Singh held a meeting with officials at the Circuit House on Sunday afternoon. He asked the SSP to instruct all the inspectors in charge that those who are abandoning the animals should first be given notice, but if they still do not agree then legal action should be taken.
Citing the death of the elderly, the minister said that such incidents tarnish the image of the district. It is the responsibility of the Municipal Commissioner to run an effective campaign in the city to catch the bull. Take cooperation from councilors also. Told the officials that financial assistance should be provided to the family of the deceased as soon as possible. Village heads should be activated through the District Panchayati Raj Officer. In the villages, people set up small cowsheds at their own level and keep the cattle in them.
A joint team should be formed to catch bulls in rural areas, in which block employees, veterinarians and policemen should also be included. Municipal Commissioner and Chief Veterinary Officer should try to make cow shelters self-reliant. DM Ravindra Kumar urged to establish three large cow protection centres. The minister praised the DM for seizing 5,700 cows. Municipal Commissioner Nidhi Gupta Vats, SSP Ghule Sushil Chandrabhan, Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Meghshyam, CDO Jagpravesh were present in the meeting.
