The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, is working on a scientific plan to connect gaushalas (cow shelters) with the Ridge forest, aiming to provide cows with a more natural habitat instead of living on the streets. Gupta announced the proposal for 13 new gaushalas across various districts, emphasizing the need for better living conditions for cattle currently housed in limited spaces. These new shelters will be developed using a zero-waste model, incorporating facilities such as biogas plants, veterinary hospitals, and solar energy systems. The government plans to set up six biogas plants over the next two years to ensure proper disposal of cow dung, improve sanitation, and generate energy. Additionally, ₹100 crore (approximately $12 million USD) has been approved for the redevelopment of dairy colonies in Delhi, which will enhance existing facilities until the new gaushalas are completed.
