The Veterinary Department has delivered four and a half tons of animal feed via helicopter to the horses and mules stranded on the travel routes. Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Ashish Rawat said that four and a half tons of animal feed has been delivered so far to the Cheerbasa helipad for the animal keepers of the Gaurikund area.
Horse and mule operators can get animal feed by showing their animals’ license or other documents to the administration team at Chir Basa helipad.
