In major relief, MCYJ sends 22 stray cattle to gaushala
Continuing its drive, the Municipal Corporation Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ) has caught 22 stray cattle from both zones of the MCYJ.
This drive of the MCYJ will help to make the twin cities, Yamunanagar and Jagadhri, free from stray cattle as this menace has been causing a number of problems to local residents and motorists.
Deputy Municipal Commissioner Dr Vijay Pal Yadav said two teams led by Chief Sanitary Inspectors, Harjeet Singh and Sunil Dutt, were formed to catch stray cattle from areas falling under the MCYJ jurisdiction.
“Under the guidance of Municipal Commissioner Ayush Sinha, we have been running a campaign to make the areas under MCYJ free of stray cattle for a long time. Our teams are doing this work on a regular basis and this drive will continue until the area of the MCYJ becomes a stray cattle-free area,” said Dr Vijay Pal Yadav, Deputy Municipal Commissioner.
According to information, the teams of the MCYJ caught 22 stray cattle roaming in various colonies and roads of the MCYJ on Monday and Tuesday and left them in a gaushala run by Shri Gaushala Committee at Matka Chowk, Jagadhri.
The team led by CSI Harjeet Singh caught 10 stray cattle from various areas of zone I of the MCYJ.
Similarly the team led by CSI Sunil Dutt caught 12 stray cattle from various colonies of ward 15 and ward 19 of zone II of the MCYJ.
Yadav further said the MCYJ was giving fodder expenses to the gaushala operators at the rate of Rs 30 per cattle per day so that the stray cattle could be taken care of. A social worker, Anil Kumar of Professor Colony of Yamunanagar, said it was a good initiative of the MCYJ, it should be continued till both cities become free from stray cattle.
