Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday instructed officials Varanasi to motivate people to adopt shelterless cows during a meeting to review developmental projects in the temple town.

Adityanath who is on a two-day visit, instructed the officials to complete the developmental projects within their deadlines. Delay in the projects causes inconvenience to the public.

Among the development projects are the Varanasi convention centre, vedic research centre, regional institute of ophthalmology and a super speciality hospital.

Adityanath also turned his attention to stray cattle.

“Kahiwasiyon ko nirashrit govansh god dilayen,” (Motivate people of Kashi to adopt shelterless cows) the CM told officials. Varanasi is also Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency.

He also said that the citizens of Varanasi should come forward to adopt shelterless cows and care of them.
