The latest home ministry crackdown on non-compliant non-government organisations (NGOs) might have hit some holy cows. The list of some 5,922 units that have not filed their annual returns and have been served a show cause notice includes several institutions working for cow protection.
                      
Business Standard went through the list to find at least nine such NGOs that had "Gau" or "Cow" in their names. These nine NGOs are Shri Haryana Gaushala, Gauv Sevva Trust (Gst), Shri Gaushala Kathar Jungle, Ratanlal C Bafna Gau Seva Anusandhan Kendra, Shri Pinjara Pole Gaushala
