Bara (Prayagraj). In Shankargarh development block, farmers' crops are being ruined due to the terror of stray animals, due to which the farmers of the Gram Panchayat are in a very bad condition and along with this, Jharra. The cow shed built in the Gram Panchayat has so far become only a show piece. Due to increasing terror of animals, demand has arisen to build cow shelters in some other gram panchayats of the development block. People of Juhi Gram Panchayat told that a letter was sent to Deputy District Magistrate Bara and Block Development Officer Shankargarh in February 2023 directing them to construct a cow shed in Juhi village. Despite that, the construction of the cow shed in Juhi has not started yet.
Local resident Engineer RK Singh said that due to the negligence of the responsible officers and employees, the place identified till now has not even been registered in Khatauni. Dinesh Kumar Mishra, village head of Juhi Gram Sabha, said that in May 2022, the Lekhpal was ordered by the Deputy District Magistrate to register the land marked in Juhi in Khatauni in the name of the cow shed. After that, I corresponded with the Deputy District Magistrate thrice that the identified lands should be registered as cow shed, pasture etc. but no action was taken.
On August 2022, Block Development Officer Shankargarh also expressed satisfaction about the construction of a cow shed in Juhi and requested Deputy District Magistrate Bara to register the identified land in Khatauni. After that, on January 31, 2023, the Veterinary Officer also wrote a letter to Deputy District Magistrate Bara requesting him to register the land in Khatauni as soon as possible so that the construction of the cow shed could start, but till now due to the indifference of the officers and employees, the land has been identified in Juhi Village Panchayat. The land has not even been registered in Khatauni in the name of the cowshed, leaving aside the construction of the cowshed.
Similarly, the cow shed built in Jhajhra Pandey has become a mere show piece. By the way, the construction of the cow shed in Jhajhra Pandey has already been done. There was some work left which was not completed in time. But on asking those responsible, every time the answer is that some work of the Gaushala was still pending, which will be completed soon and started. On this subject, the Village Development Officer said that some work was still left and the cow shed would be completed soon. Let us tell you that out of 76 Gram Panchayats, cow sheds have been constructed only in twelve Gram Panchayats.
A resident of Bhelav village said that a large number of stray animals are destroying crops in our village. There are many bighas of government land available in the village on which a cowshed can be built. While farmers are troubled by the increasing terror of animals, cow sheds are not being constructed in many villages despite having sufficient government land. Farmers of Shankargarh development block are worried and worried due to increasing animal terror and limited number of temporary cattle shelters.
