The issue of the alleged ill-treatment of the cattle in the Kanji House of Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) is creating an uncomfortable situation for the BJP ruled MCD. On Saturday, the BJP MLA from Dharampur and former Mayor Vinod Chamoli advised the MCD to improve things. His advice assumes significance since he is a two time former mayor of Dehradun and belongs to BJP which is in power in MCD.
Interestingly the mayor of MCD, Sunil Uniyal ‘Gama’ and other officers have strongly denied the charges of Congress spokesperson Garima Dasauni about death of cows, rampant mismanagement and cattle being ill-treated in the Kanji House.
Chamoli said, “It good that the Congress spokesperson is talking about cows, otherwise the Congress leaders seldom talk about cows. The Kanji House was constructed during my tenure as mayor. The capacity of the Kanji House is less and more animals are put there which creates problems. We need more such places to shelter the stray cattle. Social organisations should also come forward to prevent repetition of such incidents.’’
Happy at the support coming from unexpected quarters, Dasauni congratulated Chamoli for the support. She said that the statement of the BJP leader will help those putting “fictitious” allegations on her to do better. Dasauni said that her objective is to improve the conditions in the Kanji House. She said that the MCD has said that false pictures and videos were circulated by her. Dasauni said that she had was live on Facebook from the Kanji House which exposed the pathetic conditions of the cows there.
