News Desk: Volunteers of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP gauraksha mobile squad) on Monday created ruckus at a gaushala in Shankargarh in the trans-Yamuna area after finding 12 cows dead. VHP regional secretary (gauraksha) Lal Mani Tiwari said that a mobile squad of VHP’s gauraksha unit on Monday ‘raided’ Kanha gaushala in Shankargarh and found a series of irregularities in the gaushala. He added that there were no proper arrangements of fodder and drinking water and that many cows were struggling to survive due to neglect.

Tiwari further added that bodies of as many as 12 cows were dumped inside an open pit by the gaushala authorities. He also claimed that many cows in the gaushala had died of starvation earlier. The gaushala is home to about 1,500 cows and calves.

Tiwari said that the person in -charge of the gaushala was hardly visiting the place which resulted in a series of irregularities in the gaushala.

Tiwari meanwhile, said that authorities were not sensitive towards the issue and that senior PMC authorities were also working as “a mute spectator”. VHP leaders said that there was no upkeep of records at the gaushala and threatened to launch a massive agitation if things did not improve in the stipulated time.
