Talking to TOI on Wednesday, the chairman of Haryana Gau Sewa Ayog, Bhani Ram Mangla, said it was his idea to open gaushalas inside the district’s six jails. «I strongly feel that by drinking milk of cows that are provided shelter inside the jails, the inmates will get enlightened with wisdom, get reformed, and stop their criminal activities. They will also get an opportunity to tend the cows and earn wages in the process,» he said.
While announcing the proposal on Tuesday, the Haryana chief minister said the state was considering jails with extra space to set up the gaushalas, to enable inmates to work in them and earn money. «Besides the inmates getting reformed, thousands of stray cows on Haryana’s roads will also get shelter. We have prepared an estimate of about Rs 10-12 crore, that will be spent on each of these six jails. The first to come up will be in Karnal. Subsequently, one will be built inside Gurgaon jail as well,» he said.
