Stray cattle in cities cause road accidents, causing loss of life and property. He said that cow spinach leaves them in the open after extracting milk. This situation will change completely after the implementation of this scheme. Animal keepers will manage their fodder and keep them tied, so that they can get cow dung, which they can sell and get economic benefits.
