On the lines of 108 services – Pashu Rakshak- a service for cattle was launched in Medak recently. These vehicles were formally launched by Deputy Speaker M. Padma Devender Reddy, on October 2.
‘Pashu Rakshak,’ the mobile veterinary clinics were made available over a toll free call -1800-425-1383- from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The vehicle equipped with a veterinary surgeon, para- veterinarian and attendant along with required surgical equipment and would be stationed at Sangareddy (95151 08650), Narsapur (95151 08651), Zaheerabad (95151 08652) and Siddipet (95151 08653). If any farmer needs these services beyond the specified timings they can directly call the phone number of their respective divisions and get the services. These services can be used at remote areas and at places where veterinary clinics are not available. “For the first time we have introduced such service to benefit farmers who cannot bring their cattle to the veterinary clinics due to various reasons including lack of transport facility. In the case of any emergency the farmers can call the staff at the Pashu Rakhak vehicles to the numbers provided for each division and get services,” Dr. K. Laxma Reddy, Joint Director, Animal Husbandry, toldThe Hindu.
