Delhi cm stopped the convoy in the middle of the road…?
delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta was going to worship in the temple on the day of Hanuman Jayanti (12 April), where as soon as the CM's convoy moved on the main road, she stopped her convoy after seeing a cow standing in the middle of the road. It was seen on the spot that a car driver was feeding rotis to the cow. chief minister Rekha Gupta got down from the car and appealed to the person with folded hands that he should go to the Gaushala and feed the cows, not on the road. The cm said that stopping on the road like this obstructs the traffic and there is also a possibility of an accident.
Appealed peacefully and then moved ahead with her convoy
In the presence of the chief minister, the policemen accompanying her moved the cows to the side of the road and normalized the traffic. There was a crowd of people during this time, but the cm appealed peacefully without any security paraphernalia and then moved ahead with her convoy.
Permanent arrangements should be made to deal with the situation
It is worth noting that a few days ago, chief minister Rekha Gupta had stopped her convoy during a similar incident on the Hardpur flyover. At that time too, she had called the officials on the spot after seeing cows roaming on the road and had given strict instructions that permanent arrangements should be made to deal with such situations.
'Animal service is necessary'
Such incidents coming to the fore continuously in delhi indicate that the problem of stray animals is now becoming a serious traffic and security issue. The appeal made by the cm also gave the message that animal service is necessary, but public safety and traffic should not be put at risk for it.
