Stinking row over cattle garbage

PUNE, November 21: Upset by the lack of response from the cattle owners on the issue of the infrastructure to be developed at the proposed cattle sheds at Ghorpuri, the Pune Cantonment Board PCB has decided to initiate criminal proceedings against them.

A resolution to this effect was passed at the general meeting here yesterday. The board had earlier passed a resolution mooting an informal discussion with the members of the Bharatiya Lingayat Gawali Samaj Vikas Pratisthan in order to consider their suggestions.

In informal meeting held on August 16 with BS Bidkar, the secretary of the Gawali Samaj was offered details about the project and were asked to submit their suggestions by August 25. The board also granted an extension to the cattle owners until October 10 on the issue, however, there seemed to be little response from them.
