Shimla: The Himachal Pradesh government
will soon bring comprehensive legislation on cow protection
and if required an ordinance could also be promulgated, Chief
Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal said today.
Inaugurating a two-day conference of Deputy
Commissioners and Superintendents of Police, he said the
government had definite information that some people were
taking cows from Himachal Pradesh to other states for
slaughter.
Dhumal asked officers to ensure that the policies,
programmes and decisions of the government were immediately
and effectively implemented.
He asked them to frequently inspect and monitor the
ongoing schemes in the field and ensure timely completion.
Dhumal said the state government had increased the
insurance cover for critical illness up to Rs 1.70 lakh.
