Get that cow off the road!

Written by 

India's Punjab state is dealing with a unique problem: stray cows – 160,000 of them.

State authorities are promising relief from stray cows; no stray cows will be roaming Punjab roads after July.

Cow ranches were being built to ensure proper upkeep and assistance to these cows; the Government admits stray cows have been implicated in 242 human road deaths in the past two years.

$1.5 million dollars is being spent on the new ranches.
