Ad hoc panel formed for protection of cows

 

Staff Reporter

 

VISAKHAPATNAM: An ad hoc committee has been formed with representatives of

various organisations, working for the protection of animal rights, as a run up

to the formation of the ‘Akhil Bharata Gosamrakshana Seva Samithi’ for the

protection of cows.

 

Announcing this at a meeting here on Friday, Visakha Society for

Protection and Care of Animals (VSPCA) president Pradeep Kumar Nath spoke about

the efforts of the organisation to prevent cruelty to cows. The organisation had

rescued over 1,730 cattle from illegal slaughter and transportation.

 

The united forum was formed to protect sacred cows and their breed which

was fast depleting and many of the Indian breeds that were on the verge of

extinction.

 

He said the ad hoc committee, with K. Srirama Chandra Murthy in charge,

comprises nine members. The next meeting would be held at Simhachalam on January

10.

 

Mr. Pradeep Nath alleged slaughtering of cows was continuing openly near

Relli Veedhi, Arilova, Bakkitakki and Duvvada. Male cows offered to Simhachalam

temple by devotees were being sold to slaughterers by the temple authorities

through auctions. The temple was earning a revenue of Rs.20 lakhs every year

through the sale of around 6,000 male calves.

 

Representatives of Visakha Gowrakshana Samithi, Viswa Hindu Parishad,

Hindu Jana Jagarana Samithi, Sri Dharmika Bhatajana Seva Sangham, RSS, Blue

Cross of Srikakulam, Active Organisation, Jeevraksha Animal Welfare Society and

Govardhangiri Gow Samrakshana from Srikakulam, East and West Godavari and

Vizianagaram districts besides those from Visakhapatnam city and district

attended the meeting.
