FIRs lodged, officials suspended as CM acts on ‘gaushala' lapses
1 2 Lucknow: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath ordered strict action, leading to FIRs against two outsourcing firms under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act in the case of cattle neglect at Kanha Upvan Gaushala in Meerut. The urban development department got FIRs registered against two outsourcing firms — Jain Computers and Shivam Enterprises. These firms were contracted to deploy caretakers and staff for the upkeep of over 2,500 cattle in the gaushala. The action came after a video showing the deplorable condition of the cattle went viral on social media on July 12. The video exposed the cattle suffering despite the availability of fodder, green feed and water. Following the video, a detailed inspection led by assistant municipal commissioner Sharad Pal revealed that cattle were not being fed on time, and many caretakers were absent from duty. Although Jain Computers claimed to appoint 24 caretakers and Shivam Enterprises 18, the on-ground reality was far from their claims. The municipal corporation stated that both firms were previously warned, verbally and in writing, for their poor management, but no improvements were made, prompting stringent measures. The investigation also found discrepancies in record-keeping, leading to the immediate suspension of clerk Vikas Sharma. FIRs were also lodged against Harpal Singh, the animal welfare officer, and the gaushala's caretaker, who were subsequently suspended. The senior charge of the gaushala was withdrawn from Pal and handed over to additional municipal commissioner Pankaj Kumar Singh. Additionally, municipal health officer Dr Gajendra was reassigned to the CMO office, with Dr Amar Singh appointed in his place.
