Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Monday flagged off an ambulance service that would cater to cows.

Under the 'Gauvansh Chikitsa Mobile Vans' service, the ambulance would rescue ill or injured cows and transport them to 'gau shalas' or take them for treatment to the veterinary doctor.

A "gau seva toll-free number' was also released so that common people can come to the help of such cows. A veterinarian will be present in the ambulance along with an assistant.

Maurya, who posted pictures of the event on his Facebook page, flagged off five such ambulances from his official residence in Lucknow.
