The delegation further demanded public disclosure of the utilisation of cow welfare cess funds, establishment and strengthening of modern gaushalas in every district, a special national campaign for the rehabilitation and treatment of stray cattle, and effective measures to curb cattle smuggling and illegal transportation.
The memorandum urged both the Central and State Governments to launch public awareness campaigns on cattle conservation and to formulate a comprehensive policy through consultation with all stakeholders. The delegation emphasized that the issue extends beyond religious sentiments and is closely linked to India’s cultural heritage, rural economy, animal welfare and environmental conservation. MP Manish Tewari assured the delegation that he would raise the demands of Shri Hindu Takht seriously in Parliament.
