Last year read an article of yours in Times of India titled "Siblings save cattle from abattoir, take the goshala route".

If you have any info on how I can reach the brothers running the Goshala, it would be very helpful. We are planning to donate and want to visit the shelter, but have no information on its address or contact number.
Thank you.
