Chandigarh Cowshed Deaths Prompt Inquiry and FIR Against Management

Over 60 cows and calves were found dead at Chandigarh's Makhan Majra cowshed due to alleged mismanagement, including lack of fodder, water, and veterinary care. The municipal corporation's incinerator plant malfunctioned for several days, delaying carcass disposal. Following public outrage, the UT administration ordered a magisterial inquiry and police registered an FIR against the cowshed management. The Chief Secretary directed 24/7 CCTV monitoring and inspections to improve animal welfare and facility maintenance.
