48 cattles moved into state sponsored shelters

Sixteen abandoned cattles were today moved into specially-demarcated cattle-sheds set up here on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's orders to provide them proper care.
With this a total of 48 cattles disowned by people after they are unable to give milk have been moved into the two specially designed cow shelters at Deedarganj and Katrabazar, a statement from Patna district administration said.
The cow-sheds were set up last week by the Patna district administration to provide care to abandoned cattles at state cost.
The measure has been taken after Nitish Kumar had recently flayed cow vigilantism for political gains and had announced that his government would build cattle sheds to feed cattle, which are abandoned after they stop giving milk.

Patna District Magistrate, Sanjay Kumar Agarwal supervising the cow shelters today held meeting with officials of Patna Municipal corporation and directed them to speed up campaign to identify such cattles and move them into state sponsored shelters.
The cattle in the sheds are provided good feed and veterinary doctors have been put on duty to attend to them round-the-clock.
The cattle-shed in Katrabazar is on a 15-bigha plot and the one at Deedarganj is spread across 3 to 4 bighas.
