Bhuj: About 100 cows died after they were not properly fed and left to survive in an inundated panjrapole (cowshed) in Satapar village in Anjar taluka of Kutch over the past week. The animals suddenly started dying since Wednesday evening. A complaint in the incident has been filed by Vijay Nirwani, one of the trustees of Anjar Panjrapole Trust, which runs the cowshed. As per the complaint, the functionaries at the cowshed had been negligent in carrying out their duties due to an ongoing dispute at the shed. In fact, most of them have submitted their resignation to the trust, which was to hold a meeting to decide upon the acceptance of the resignation. Sources said the meeting had been delayed due to some reasons as a result of which those who had resigned were not doing their duties. By late on Wednesday, other animals at the shed - it houses about 1,200 cattle - were shifted in trucks to Mundra, Mandvi and Bhachau. No police action has been taken against any of the accused yet. It may be noted that this is the second such incident of mass cow deaths at a cowshed of Kutch. On June 29, as many as 56 cows had died after eating fodder at Mithi Rohar Gaushala (cowshed) near Gandhidham. A total of 210 cows were affected. SOURCE: SANDESH
