To meet the local requirements only inter-state transportation restrictions are imposed, J.P Dalal
DCs should make proactive strategies for ensuring advance availability of fodder in all Gaushalas before the monsoon, directs J.P Dalal
Chandigarh, April 26 – Haryana Farmers’ and Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Minister, Sh. J.P Dalal has directed the officials concerned to work on a war footing level along with drafting proactive strategies for ensuring adequate availability of fodder in each Gaushala before the onset of monsoon.
“Every Deputy Commissioner should ensure that no Gaushala in the State faces any difficulty due to fodder shortage. If required, people should also be encouraged to donate fodder. A special campaign for ensuring the availability of adequate stock of fodder should be launched,” directed Sh. J.P Dalal while presiding over a review meeting of the availability of fodder in Gaushalas with the Deputy Commissioner held here today through video conferencing.
Clarifying that there is no ban on inter-district movement of fodder, Sh. J.P Dalal directed that the movement of fodder within the state goes smoothly. However to meet the local requirements only inter-state transportation restrictions are imposed, and every Deputy Commissioner should keep a close vigil on the incidents where fodder is being transported to other states, directed Sh. J.P Dalal.
“The Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal has expressed deep concern over this issue and is also closely monitoring the situation. Therefore, the Deputy Commissioners should take proactive steps for ensuring the availability of fodder,” said Sh. J.P Dalal.
“A nodal officer should be appointed to monitor the fodder coming from other states. It should also be ensured that the vehicles coming from other districts carrying fodder should not face any difficulty in commuting. Everyday monitoring of procurement and sale of fodder should also be done,” directed Sh. J.P Dalal.
The Minister said that possibility of formulating an incentivized scheme should also be explored under which an amount should be given if any farmer ties up with the Gaushalas for sowing green fodder.
The Minister said that because this time most of the farmers have sown Mustard over Wheat, hence the problem of shortage of fodder has arisen. Also amid fodder shortage, the prices are likely to soar in the coming days, hence the Deputy Commissioners should ensure that the requirements of the Gaushalas are met at the earliest.
Additional Chief Secretary, Irrigation and Water Resources Department, Sh. Devender Singh, Commissioner and Secretary, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Department, Sh. Pankaj Agarwal and other officers also remained present on this occasion.
