Chandigarh: Haryana government will carry out tagging and evaluation of cattle in all cowsheds of the state till April.
There are about 423 registered and unregistered gaushalas in the state which have about 3 lakh cattle heads, Chairman of Haryana Gau Sewa Aayog, Bhaniram Mangla said.
The decision was taken at a review meeting of the Aayog held here on Tuesday.
