The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 30 Dec 2018Locals park stray cows in schools, Adityanath conjures government schemes for cows.

Consider his latest order that in case of encroachers on grazing land, the encroachments be removed immediately and strict action initiated against the accused. As Adityanath continued to drive his administration hard on ill-conceived cow schemes, irate farmers in Aligarh locked up stray cows inside classrooms while schoolchildren and teachers were left in the lurch.
