Chief Minister Revanth Reddy ordered the authorities to constitute a committee for establishing cow shelters and to draft an action plan within a stipulated time.
The Chief Minister reviewed the development and management of cow shelters to protect cattle in the state on Saturday.
The CM emphasised that cow shelters should be established in a way that would make it easier to protect cows. In the first phase, he suggested establishing cow shelters on the premises of the veterinary university, colleges, the agriculture university and temples in the state. The officials were asked to identify suitable lands for this.
The CM also suggested that cow shelters should be established on at least 50 acres with space for grazing and roaming.
Asking officials to prepare a comprehensive plan to establish cow shelters, the CM said the possibility of making charity organisations actively involved in the management and protection of cows should be examined. The CM wanted plans to be prepared with budget estimates for the construction and management of cow shelters.
The Chief Minister reviewed various designs for cow shelters being set up in MK Palli in the Moinabad mandal of Rangareddy district and suggested some changes. The officials were told to finalise the designs of cow shelters within four to five days.
