MCC team visits Sewage Farm; inspects stray cowshed location

March 3, 2017

A team of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) officials and Corporators from the Farm Committee visited the Sewage Farm at Vidyaranyapuram on Mar. 1 where a shelter for stray cows will be constructed.

The MCC has proposed to build the shelter at an estimated cost of Rs. 25 lakh. Along with the shed, Rs. 17 lakh will be spent to grow fodder and supply water to the cows that are sheltered there and a drainage system with pipelines will be laid at a cost of Rs. 6 lakh.

Inspecting the Sewage Farm, Farm Committee Chairman Rathna Lakshman, who is also the Deputy Mayor directed the officials and workers to complete the works on priority. Former Mayor R. Lingappa said that of the 750-acre Sewage Farm, 80 to 100 acres will be used to grow fodder and treated water will be used for the purpose.

Taking into account the scarcity of space to tie stray cows, two 40×60 sheds will be constructed to accommodate more cows, he said. Committee member R. Nagaraj suggested that the MCC must install CCTV cameras to keep track of the visitors to the Sewage Farm. This will also help the MCC to protect its assets at the farm, he opined. He also suggested to appoint security guards to the farm and to ensure transparency in sale of grass, he suggested computerising all transactions.

The committee members questioned the officials for allowing BJP to hold a programme within the Sewage Farm limits and also asked the officials who gave them permission to sell grass to the event organisers. They took officials to task for the lapses.
