Mr.Singh said that state would order its official to find out why the number of stray animals is suddenly increasing up in the state. He also said that government would also check the fact that stray animals are being brought here from other states.
He added that there are complaints from the concerned of member of house that stray animals were being dropped in the state from Punjab and Haryana to be probed.
Chief minister said that today people are discarding their cattle as they become uneconomical for them and however the state would not starve the Gram Panchayats with lack of funds to build Goasadans in the state.
