Citing the recent ruling by the Allahabad High Court wherein it was said that the cow should be declared the national animal and that Gau Raksha (cow protection) should be included as a fundamental right of the Hindus, Advocate Chandel said that government should immediately implement this verdict across the country and especially in J&K.
He also sought full implementation of the Municipal Act in which strict action should be taken against people who after milking the bovines leave them on roads for feeding which becomes a cause of road accidents.
Advocate Chandel appealed to the Hon’ble Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Commissioner JMC to ensure that no bovine animal is subjected to cruelty of any sort. Chandel said that he will not tolerate any sort of laxity in this matter as cows are sacred animals and cruelty against them will not be tolerated come what may. He also asked the youth to visit Gaushalas on a regular basis to preserve the traditional values and also set an example for the coming generations.
