Residents of Dhathu Nagar locality in Old Cty have come forward together to give away the colony park to provide needed shelter for cows.

"It's been a decade we have been trying to rescue cows as many as possible, every month at least 25 cows will be given shelter by us. We only shelter them and offer prayers and food what they need and never ever consume its milk instead we arrange a person to monitor its daily needs like cleaning the shed, offering grass on time, alternate day bathing and other activities. None of the residents from the colony takes milk from rescued cows as their milk completely belongs to their calf only," said G Bhaskar, entrepreneur and resident of Dhathu Nagar.
