AAA After the district administration on Thursday razed a goshala (shelter for cattle) that operated on land earmarked for setting up the Indian Coast Guard Academy, the goshala owner alleged that the 250-odd cattle that were put up in the shelter were now stranded.
The Kapila Park Goshala had been operating for the past eight years on 19 cents of land in Kenjar, which is part of the 158 acres of land of the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board which has been earmarked for the proposed academy. Two months ago, a notice was issued to Prakash Shetty, the owner and trustee of the goshala, to vacate on the grounds that it was illegal. Around 250 cattle, including the native Kapila breed cattle, were at the goshala.
