Bhopal: The Shivraj government has now formulated a new plan for cow protection in Madhya Pradesh. Now the government is in the process of imposing cow tax (Cow Cess). The CM last Thursday directed the officials to plan to levy the tax for go-grass. Not only that, but he has also asked the voluntary organizations to give the work of development of cow-shed.
