Cowsheds in Mumbai's Aarey area have been facing a huge shortage of fodder supply amid lockdown in the state due to COVID-19.

Ameen, a caretaker of a stable told ANI, "There are 600 cows in my stable. Suppliers don't come even after offering double money. It is difficult to sustain the business."

During his address to the nation on March 24, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus.

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Friday said that there are 2,547 coronavirus positive cases in India, including 2,322 active cases, 163 cured/discharged/migrated people and 62 deaths.
