‘Clean govt offices only with cow urine phenyl’

BHOPAL: The state government offices in Madhya Pradesh will now be cleaned with phenyl made of cow urine only, said a state government order made public on Sunday.

All the government offices have to replace chemically made phenyl with cow urine phenyl to clean the premises, said Niwas Sharma, secretary, general administration department (GAD).

An order in this regard was released by the state’s General Administration Department (GAD) on Saturday.

The decision of using Gau Phenyl was taken in the first ‘Cow cabinet’ held in November.

‘Cow cabinet’ was set up in November last year for the protection and promotion of cattle in the state.

The cabinet is headed by chief minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan.

Animal husbandry department minister Prem Singh Patel said the decision was taken to promote the setting up of bottling plant of cow urine and to set up factories of cow phenyl. “We generated demand before the production. Now people will not leave the nonmilking cows abandoned. This will improve the condition of cows in MP,” he added.

However, Congress leaders blamed the state government for promoting the phenyl of private companies.

Congress MLA Kunal Chaudhary said, “The government comes up with this decision without setting up any infrastructure. If the state government really wants to promote by-products of cows to improve the condition of stray cows, they should have at least started some factories in the state. Now, the demand will be fulfilled by a private company of Uttarakhand.”

Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Rahul Kothari said, “This is vague thinking of Congress leaders. Why would anyone set up a factory without any demand? The state government has taken a good decision and other states will follow this.”
