Bovine rhapsody

Stray cows and bulls have become quite a menace in large parts of northern India, particularly Uttar Pradesh. Varanasi, the venue of this year's Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, has always had its share of stray cows.

In the run up to the event, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had instructed the local administration to prevent stray cows from sauntering inside the sprawling venue.

However, a cow entered the makeshift venue on Tuesday afternoon when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was inside the auditorium for the opening ceremony of the event. Fortunately, the cops could chase the docile animal away without much effort. -- Business Standard
