Overview
- The Delhi government, which announced the plan Wednesday, has identified sites for 13 new cow shelters, targeting at least one in every district.
- Officials said shelters will be linked to the Delhi Ridge to give cattle access to natural wooded areas and reduce street roaming.
- Each new gaushala will use a zero-waste design with biogas units, solar power and on-site veterinary care.
- The city set a two-year goal for six biogas plants to process roughly 1,500 tons of dung and supply energy.
- Funding includes Rs 24 crore released this year, Rs 20 crore cleared last year, and Rs 100 crore for dairy-colony upgrades, with veterinary services kept running at current shelters during the transition.
