MP Dead cow dragged away by tractor 7 sanitary employees sacked

Bhind, Jul 16 (PTI) The services of seven temporary sanitary employees were terminated in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind district on Tuesday after a picture showing the carcass of a cow tied to a tractor and being dragged away surfaced on social media.
The alleged incident took place in the limits of Malanpur Nagar Panchayat.
After finding a cow lying dead by the roadside, sanitary workers of the civic body tied it to a tractor trolley, dragged it for one and a half kilometres, and dumped it in the open instead of burying it, said Sub Divisional Magistrate Parag Jain.
After the photograph went viral, a notice was served to Chief Municipal Officer (CMO) Yashwant Rathore, he said.
The Nagar Panchayat said in a statement that seven temporary sanitary workers were sacked for carelessness and violation of directives after the incident came to light.
