Telangana will soon have a cow protection policy, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy announced on Tuesday during a meeting with officials of the animal husbandry department.

Instructing officials to come up with a comprehensive policy to protect cows, the Chief Minister has appointed a three-member committee comprising Special Chief Secretary to Animal Husbandry Department Sabyasachi Ghosh, Principal Secretary to Endowments Department Shailaja Ramaiyar and Secretary to Agriculture Department Raghunandan Rao. The committee, according to the CM’s instruction, will conduct an “in-depth study on the establishment of cow shelters or goshalas”. The committee will also visit other states where cow protection policies are in place.
