Mysore/Mysuru: With an objective of providing shelter and care to stray cattle, the Animal Husbandry Department has proposed to set up a goshala on the outskirts of the city. The goshala will come up on a 10-acre plot at Ayarahalli in the taluk at an estimated cost of Rs.1.85 crore for which the Department has prepared a DPR (Detailed Project Report) and entrusted the job of executing the works to Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Corporation (KRIDC). KRIDC has planned to commence the work by Feb.15.
For now, the works will commence with the construction of a shed in 2 acres of the 10-acre plot at a cost of Rs. 52 lakh. Around 200 stray cattle can be sheltered in this shed where they will also be taken care of, including their water, fodder and health needs.
