Abandoned Cows in Bhubaneswar — How to Report and Help
Bhubaneswar and other cities in Odisha face a significant challenge with abandoned cows on roads. Non-milking cows are often abandoned by owners who consider them economically unproductive. These cows end up on busy roads, vulnerable to road accidents, starvation, disease, and exploitation.
What to Do If You See an Abandoned Cow
Step 1: Do not panic or try to move the cow yourself if it is injured or on a busy road.
Step 2: Call Braj Bhumi Gaushala immediately: +91 9320000020
Step 3: Provide the location — nearest landmark, road name, or Google Maps pin.
Step 4: Stay nearby if safe to guide our rescue team when they arrive.
Step 5: Use our contact form — select "Report Abandoned Cow" as the subject if you cannot call.
What Happens After You Report
- Dispatch to the location as quickly as possible
- Provide immediate first aid if the cow is injured
- Safely transport the cow to Braj Bhumi Gaushala
- Conduct a full health assessment on arrival
- Provide ongoing care, nutrition, and medical treatment
