Under the “every pradhan, 10 cattle” campaign, more than 6,000 stray cattle have been safely kept in gram panchayats, a district official said
The district administration in Uttar Pradesh has asked village heads to safely house 10 cattle each to prevent them from damaging farmers' crops.
The administration has made the call under the " Every pradhan, 10 cattle" campaign started by it to bring to safety stray cattle and prevent them from blocking roads and getting into fields.
Officials here said the experiment was started in Shahjahanpur and has been a “great success”.
A senior district official said under the campaign, more than 6,000 stray cattle have been safely kept in gram panchayats and the campaign is still on to bring more of them under shelter.
Stray cattle have often been reported to be causing damage to crops and triggering road accidents.
Shyam Bahadur Singh, District Chief Development Officer, told PTI that they had been receiving complaints from villagers about stray cattle.
"The matter was taken seriously and this programme involving village heads was formulated," he said.
