Corona Scare: Kolkata vendor sells cow urine, dung for 500rs

While top countries are looking out for cure to the deadly coronavirus, a Kolkata vendor is making a profit by selling cow urine and dung.

Vendor Mabud Ali has placed packs of cow dung and jars of cow urine on a table by the National Highway 19 — that links Delhi and Kolkata. Ali claims he got the idea from a gomutra (cow urine) party organized by the Hindu Mahasabha in Delhi.

“Drink cow urine and ward off coronavirus,” says a poster pasted to the table.

“I have two cows — one Indian cow and the other a jersey cow. I earn my living selling milk. So, after I saw the gomutra party on television, I realized I can make more profit by selling cow urine and dung. Now, I can utilize every part of cows in my business,” said Ali.

However, in Ali’s stall, a litre of urine and a kilo of dung of the jersey cows come at a cheaper rate – Rs 300.

“A Jersey cow is not a pure breed like Indian cow. So, its urine also is not that much in demand,” he said.

Ali said the initial response has been “good”. “I’ll try to continue this trade”.
