SDMs asked to open bank accounts of migrant workers of Kanpur district

Kanpur: District magistrate Brahmadeo Ram Tiwari on Saturday asked the sub-divisional magistrates to get opened bank accounts of migrant workers belonging to Kanpur who do not have bank accounts.
He said the bank accounts must be opened in a day or two so that under the financial assistance scheme, Rs 1000 could be deposited in their accounts. This fund would be transferred in their accounts by RTGS.
He directed the officials to assess the losses caused under Bilhaur tehsil due to the natural calamity. The assessment should be made on a war-footing, he said.
In another direction to the SDMs, the DM asked them to conduct a survey in their jurisdiction about 100 years old trees, make their list and send the details to his office. They have also been asked to conduct a block-wise survey of ponds and wells.
At another meeting, he asked the officials to make self dependent temporary cow protection houses. He said they should be developed on the lines of Kanpur Gaushalas Society for keeping stray animals.
He said as the cow protection houses would be raised in all panchayats, therefore, the SDMs should identify the land for that purpose and convert them into protection houses. These houses should be surrounded by deep trenches, and in trench saplings of banyan and peepal trees should be planted, he said.
Suresh Gupta, secretary, Kanpur Gaushala Society said the society prepares as many as 36 products from cow dung and cow urine. The DM asked the officials to follow the technique of the Gaushala Society.
During the meeting, an SPCA member said that SPCA was providing free treatment to stray cattle but people also bring their pets for free treatments, therefore some fee should be fixed for the treatment of pets.
Giving his consent to the suggestion, the DM asked the officials to make a few industrial houses and commercial associations the members of the society so that some funds could be generated from their annual subscription.
Chief development officer Sunil Kumar Singh, district veterinary officer and SPCA members were present in the meeting.
