Farmers across the State say that cattle raid their fields, devouring the crops and causing huge losses.
Over 1.03 lakh stray cows have been adopted by 56,853 people in Uttar Pradesh as part of a scheme launched by the Yogi Adityanath-led Government to deal with the menace of stray cattle, according to officials.
The issue of stray cattle has become a major point of resentment among farmers across the State who say that cows and bulls raid their fields, devouring the crops and causing huge losses apart from adding to their infrastructural costs.
The State currently had 5,384 ‘Gau Sanrakshan Kendras’ (Cow Protection Centres) in which 6.50 lakh cow progeny were kept, a Government spokesperson said.
