The BJP-led Pauri Garhwal administration wants a cowshed run by Vishva Hindu Parishad functionaries to move elsewhere and make way for a liquor shop in the area. This has caused a controversy in Garhwal Hills' Srinagar, with women staging protests. However, BJP state President Ajay Bhatt said, "It is strange that a cowshed was asked to move...for a liquor shop."
