Reliance opens 'Gaushalas' in two Jamnagar villages

Ahmedabad, Sep 6 (UNI) Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has donated two ''Gaushalas (cowsheds)'' in two villages near the SEZ refinery at Jamnagar on the occasion of Janmasthami.

RIL group President Parimal Nathwani inaugurated the newly constructed sheds in Dera Chikari and Kanalus villages. Both cowsheds have drinking water facilities for the cattle, and fodder storage. The sheds are fortified with compound walls.
