Time could be running out for the estimated 35,000 stray cows choking the roads and marketplaces of India's capital.
Lounging on roads and snuffling through rubbish heaps, the cow is as much a part of the Delhi scene as the auto-rickshaw and the cha-wallah (teaboy. Delhi's High Court has issued a notice ordering authorities to take 'immediate steps' against the sacred animals.
Not really stray, the cows belong to illicit dairies whose powerful owners don't feed them.
