The Chhattisgarh government has set up a judicial commission to probe the death of a large number of cows at three state-aided cow shelters recently, PTI reports from Raipur.
The single member commission, headed by retired District and Session Judge A K Samantray, will probe the sudden deaths of cows at Shagun Gaushala in Rajpur village (Durg district), at Phoolchand Gaushala in Godmarra village and Mayuri Gaushala in Rano village (Bemetara district), a General Administration Department (GAD) official said on Monday.
The panel would submit its report within three months of the issuance of a gazette notification on its constitution, he added.
The Raman Singh government has come under sharp attack from the Opposition Congress over the death of cows in the three state-aided cow shelters.
While Shagun Gaushala was being run by BJP leader Harish Verma in Durg, the two others cowsheds were being operated by his close relatives.
