Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday ordered that all stray cattle across the state should be shifted to cow shelters by January 10.
Last year, farmers in Aligarh had locked up all the stray cattle in schools and hospitals to save their crops from being damaged.
As many as 700 cows were locked up inside a government school and primary health centre in Gorai area in Aligarh by farmers on December 24 and 25 to save their crops from being damaged by the cattle.
The plight of farmers in Bulandshahr has also been same. They are spending nights in their farms to protect their crops from being destroyed by stray cattle.
