He was speaking at the Ghattu Venkataramanaswamy cattle fair at A Chamakalahalli, the second most famous venue for cattle fair in the district.
Addressing the gathering after awarding prizes to the best cattle at the fair, Shrinivas said the place should be developed into a tourist spot. The temple development committee is renovating the temple at an expenditure of Rs two crore, he said and informed the people that he would donate Rs 50,000 towards development work at the temple.
Temple development committee member and retired special deputy commissioner B R Krishnan, who spoke on the occasion, said modernisation in the field of agriculture is wooing farmers away from rearing cattle. He expressed concern over the decreasing number of cattle participating in the cattle fair year after year.
Mulbagal DySP Govindaiah, TP president Trivenamma and others participated.
