The Madhya Pradesh government is coming up with a new cow policy that looks at providing dignified life for the bovine with regulations from "birth to death", officials aware of the development said. The policy will replace one that has been in place since 1959.
A senior official of the state's animal husbandry department said the "scientific" and "respectful" disposal of cows would be mandatory in the state and in case of violation, administration will take action under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant). Currently, nondisposal of cow carcasses is a large-scale problem in the state as most are left abandoned in open spaces by shelter managements.
The department conducted a study in 2022-23 that showed that roughly 15 of 100 cows in a shelter die every year. These are usually either left abandoned in the open. Now, there are rules on how to cremate the bodies.
