The Central government has decided to withdraw its appeal to celebrate 'Cow Hug Day' on February 14, citing the 'unfavourable circumstances' in the country due to the pandemic.
The idea of celebrating Cow Hug Day was first proposed by the Rashtriya Gokul Mission, with the aim of promoting love and respect for Indian cows. However, due to the current situation in India, the Ministry of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (MoAHD) has decided to withdraw its appeal for Cow Hug Day celebrations.
The MoAHD has said that it is "regrettable" to withdraw the celebration of Cow Hug Day, but felt that it was necessary in light of the current situation in the country. The government also states that it will continue to promote the welfare of cows and spread awareness about them.
The Central government has started a host of initiatives to promote the welfare of cows and spread awareness about them. This includes providing subsidies for creating shelters for cows, and providing financial assistance to farmers for the maintenance of cows. The government also plans to launch a nation-wide campaign to spread awareness about the importance of cows and their protection.
The decision to withdraw the appeal for Cow Hug Day celebrations is seen as a huge protest of section some section of the people with unscientific approach as well as step towards ensuring the safety of people and animals during the pandemic. The government has also urged people to take all necessary precautions to protect their health and the environment.
