Dharwad Deputy Commissioner Divya Prabhu G.R.J. has said that the administration, which has the required stock of fodder sufficient to meet demand for the next 24 weeks, has already floated tenders for procurement of additional fodder to meet any exigency.
Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Monday, Ms. Prabhu said that considering reports of distress sale of cattle, officials of the Animal Husbandry Department have been asked to submit ground report on the availability of fodder.
“Based on the report from officials of the Animal Husbandry Department, the administration will take steps to set up fodder banks wherever it is found necessary. This apart, additional fodder will be required and tenders have already been floated for procurement,” she said.
