Udupi: Byndoor MLA Gururaj Gantihole has called on officials to expedite the establishment of a Goshala in Kollur to provide shelter for rescued stray cattle in the region. “The need is urgent as rescued cattle currently have no place for rehabilitation,” he said. Udupi Superintendent of Police Hariram Shankar informed that 20 cases of cattle theft were registered in Byndoor and Kollur over the past two years. “Cattle theft sometimes triggers communal tension, which makes it important to have a facility to house rescued cattle,” the SP said. The proposed Goshala, once operational, is expected to address both the rehabilitation of stray cattle and the recurring law-and-order issues linked to cattle theft in the region.
