Chandigarh: Move over education cess and Swachh Bharat cess. The Haryana Gau Sewa Ayog has recently sent a proposal to the Haryana government to impose a 5 percent ‘cow cess’ on movie tickets and an extra fee while booking banquet halls for functions to ensure the safety of the cows.

Besides, the panel has also proposed the idea of levying Rs 1 on each bag of wheat, paddy and other crops bought from the state market. Such a tax could fetch the government Rs 100 crore annually.

According to a report by new agency, the Khattar governement is also thinking of constituting a ‘Gau Rakshak Task Force’ on the pattern of Home Guards to ensure strict enforcement of the stringent cow protection law.
