Speaking at a meeting to review the progress in the Department of Animal Husbandry in Mandya, the Minister, who took the officers to task over evading duties/services citing staff scarcity, directed the officials to work towards improving the production of chicken and mutton to meet the demand for the meat.
Mr. Chavan asked the Mandya deputy commissioner to take steps in establishing cow shelters following enforcement of the anti-cow slaughter law.
