Secretary of animal husbandry department Kunji Lal Meena had earlier said, “The government is making all efforts to make sure that proper arrangements are in place in the centre where some animals have died in the past few days. These cows were already sick.”
Meena informed that in the last few days a special campaign was commenced to confine stray animals, consequently, the inflow of animals to the centre has accordingly increased. “1,228 bovine animals were captured from July 15 to July 31 and most of them were suffering from malnutrition and were sick,” he said.
Also, Shailesh Sharma, Director of Gaupalan Department has said, “No symptoms of communicable or seasonal diseases were found in the cows. The cows in serious condition would be shifted to the Radhakrishna Gaushala in Sawai Madhopur for treatment.”
