Karnataka will soon implement a ban on cow slaughter, sale and consumption of beef in line with other states, Animal Husbandry Minister Prabhu Chavan has said.
The BJP, in its 2018 assembly election manifesto, had promised prohibition of cow slaughter.
"The government is committed to enact the anti-cow slaughter law," said Chavan.
"Once the Covid-19 crisis eases an expert committee would be constituted to look into its implementation, and if need be, it will visit states like Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh to study about implementation there," Chavan was quoted as saying by his office in a release on Friday.
He said he will hold discussions
