Kerala High Court Orders Travancore Devaswom Board to Improve Vaikom Temple Gosala Welfare

The Kerala High Court directed the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) to improve cattle welfare at the Vaikom Mahadeva temple gosala following a petition highlighting poor conditions and deaths due to starvation. The court ordered appointing a full-time cowherd, designating an administrative officer, carrying out repairs, ensuring separate feeding areas, proper hygiene, ventilation, and adequate food. A separate bank account for gosala maintenance must be opened, with all measures to be implemented within three months, warning of serious consequences for non-compliance.
