The CM said with minor amendments were called for, by the central Government in the Bill which is awaiting President’s approval as state Governor had forwarded it to the lady on Raisina Hills.

The amendments would be brought up during the next Legislative Council session, for consideration and passing, to enforce the Bill under all circumstances in state, for which the BJP Government, was fully involved and ready to act.

The CM added that an anti-Cow slaughter, and service Commission for cow protection would be formed as indicated in the latest Budget soon.
