April 16 (Punjab Khabarnama) : A meeting was held here today under the leadership of District Deputy Commissioner Mr. Harpreet Singh Sudan, in which the protection of helpless animals and their population control program was discussed.
On this occasion, Deputy Commissioner Mr. Harpreet Singh Sudan said that the destitute villages in Sri Muktsar Sahib, Malot and Giddarbaha will be sent to the Government Cowshala (Cattlepond) located in village Ratta Tibba.
He also appealed to the residents of the district that whoever does not have the ability to take care of the animal, instead of leaving the animal as a stray on the roads, should leave it in the government cowshed of Ratta Tibba. He said that many accidents happen due to helpless animals and to prevent them it is necessary to have social participation in this work.
