With city shelters full, BMC to shift stray cattle to Puri dist

The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to shift 300 head of cattle to gobinda godham in Puri district as the designated cattle shelters at Jamukoli and Jatni are overflowing due to the men’s hockey world cup. A massive drive is going on to free roads of stray cows and bulls so far, with 1000 more head of cattle needed to be caught and taken to the shelters. Deputy Commissioner Ramesh Jena stated that the cattle catching takes place in the city every day after 11 pm, so that the drive does not cause disturbance to commuters and affects vehicular traffic on an average, with a little over 40 head of cattle being caught and transported to the shelters. Three agencies have been entrusted with the task of catching and transporting the cattle, and the BMC hopes to complete the mission by December end.
