Swalambhi Gaushala Tender Faces Repeated Delays
The Gau Samvardhan Board in Bhopal is trying to set up special cow shelters called Swalambhi Gaushalas.
They want more people to apply, so they keep moving the deadline.
Each shelter needs a lot of land and money.
The board hopes these shelters will help take care of stray cows in the state.
But not many people are applying because it costs a lot of money.
They are trying to fix this by giving more time for people to apply.
Gau Samvardhan Board's tender for Swalambhi Gaushala faces repeated delays, now set to December 29.
Tender aims to encourage more bidders to open cow shelters across Madhya Pradesh.
Each shelter requires 125 acres of land and must accommodate at least 5,000 stray cattle.
Bidders need to deposit Rs 50 lakh as earnest money, with construction costs estimated between Rs 15 crore and Rs 16 crore.
Previous tender received few bids, leading to its cancellation and re-issuance.
