 85 cows died, doctors say they had not been fed for quite some time now. The beef brigade has taken law in its own hands in this country. Cow menace is giving a tough time to farmers across Uttar Pradesh. It is common to find herds of bulls and cows grazing in the farmlands or orchards. Newsclick reporters travelled across three cities in UP, Aligarh, Mathura and Agra, to speak with the locals and gain a better understanding of the cow phenomenon. This feature is the first segment of our two-part series in which we will be speaking with villagers of Aligarh and Mathura to gain a better understanding of the heightening cow menace. This is the first segment of our two-part series in which we will be speaking with the locals of Aligarh and Mathura to gain a better understanding of the heightening cow menace. If you don't want to sell cows, you need to sell them. If you don't want to sell your cows, you need to sell your cows, that is why we are here. Why? Because we will sell our cows to the people of Uttar Pradesh. We will sell our cows to the people of Gaurakshak. The cow business has also been destroyed. There is no one to buy cows from my village. My house is closed. There is no one to buy cows from my village. They will take them and kill us on the way to Gaurakshak. Gaurakshak is spreading terror in the name of Gaurakshak. The price of the cow is 300-400 rupees. The cow is coming, they are calling it a cow. That is why people are leaving this matter. That is why people are leaving this matter because of the price. The cow is not even feeding the cows to the people of Uttar Pradesh. The cow is running the farm. The cow is not feeding the cows to the people of Uttar Pradesh. The people of Mahasacharya, the DMB, the SSP have come here. They have come here to see what has happened. What did you talk to them about? What did they believe? They did not give any explanation. They did not say anything about it. They did not say anything about it. They did not say anything about it. They did not say anything about it. Do you have any government funding? I used to get the same government funding from Nagar Nagam. They also closed it after getting Rs. 2.6 lakhs from Nagar Nagam. Stray cows, most of them unproductive, have been abandoned by their owners as maintaining them costs a bomb and is unaffordable in times of acute agrarian distress. Hazzled by the influx of stray cattle, villagers have been forced to pool in money to construct temporary sheds in order to save their crop. I do not know what is coming from the government. It means Pradhan Subda is doing it. Yes, Subda is doing it. Pradhan Chara is bringing it and Pradhani is feeding it. There have been huge losses since the last 5 months. For the past 5 months, we have been farming for a year. We have not been farming for a year. We have not been making anything. We have been working for 3 years. We have not done anything. We are doing everything we can. We are doing everything we can. The government claims that we are opening the cowshed. We are acquiring land. We are asking for land from the people. The government claims that we are giving the fund. We have started giving it. Is there any truth on the land or is it just so that everyone can go to the register? There is no truth in this. No fund has come yet. There is no money that can be financed by the government. I think it is all about politics. It is all about politics. Even though farmers have been driven to the wall due to widespread damage to their crops, the chief ministers, doggedness in furthering the cause of Gorakshah, that is cow protection, without making adequate arrangements, is escalating into a major row in UP. In the last 2-3 days, we have been spending Rs.1200 in the last 2-3 days. We give Rs.1200 to the cowherd. We give Rs.4-5 days to the cowherd. If it is cold, then it is not good for the skin. So, Rs.3,000 is spent in the last 2-3 days. We have been spending Rs.9000-9000 per month. We have been spending Rs.1,000 more in the last 2-3 days because the cow is growing day by day. How did the cost of Rs.3,000-9,000-27,000 per month come from? From the village. The government... We have not given any money. Not a single penny has been given to the government. They have put the cow in good condition. They say that it is not a cow. There are farmers. There are no cows or cows. But, they have not paid attention to the fact that they will destroy the farmers in the future. If the farmers are destroyed, then the farmers are poor and poor. What will the farmers do if they are eaten? All these things are unbelievable. They have put the farmers in good condition. They have spent the money. In the name of the government, the government has said that the government will open the government. They will not be able to do that. Predictably, U.P. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's wishes and farmers' livelihood needs do not match, which are leading to escalating tensions over the dealing of stray cows in the state, aggravated by a growing cow vigilantism. The farmers say that once their crop is harvested, they will free the stray cattle as they are not getting any funds from the government for the management and smooth functioning of the Gorshalas. When the farmers give the cows, the government will close the government. What will happen then? All the BJP and RSS workers in my village will not be able to find a single cow on their doorstep. They will give them the slogan of cow vigilance. They are doing this in the name of cow vigilance. And this is one more thing. If a person takes a cow and takes it to his house, I will take the cow to my relatives, they will kill me. I am taking the cow to cut it. They have created so much fear in the public that no one is ready to sell or buy a cow. They have no idea what the government is doing. They just want to make a vote in the name of cows and the government. Mr. Pashu, why did you suddenly face this problem? In the past two to three years, they used to sell milk, they didn't even sell milk, they didn't even buy it. They have been stopped from buying it. If the party is removed, will this problem be solved? This problem will be solved. They have been stopped from buying it. They are still doing it. What is the problem? The government has said that it will be solved two years ago. What are they doing two years ago? They are saying that the slaughter should be banned. People who do gunda karthi in the name of cows should be punished for their actions. People should be punished for their actions in the name of cows and cows. The team also spoke with a family of which two members faced the wrath of an angry bull that they were trying to chase away off their field. This encounter resulted in the death of one 14-year-old Deepu. On the 9th, Deepu was killed and he was released on time. CO Mahabana, Aso Baldevai, Hdm Mahabana and Naib Tehsildar Mahaban were also released. They gave complete assurance, but no one is showing anything to us yet. I was going to the bazaar, and I saw that the truck was on top of me. I was just walking around, standing on the very side of the road. Do you want to say anything to the government? The government doesn't help, it just treats the people. After seeing the BJP, this is the farmer's brother. This is the government of the Punjabi husbandies. The government won't allow farmers to grow their own farm.
