 Use Cow Urine To Disinfect Hospitals: Congress Corporator
One of the Mumbai Congress corporator Parminder Bhamra from Malad uses cow urine to clean his house and he is suggesting the same to others. He says that the ‘Gau Mutra’ urine of cow works well when it comes to killing germs.
Parminder Bhamra put forward a proposal in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to use cow urine as a disinfectant both in public and private hospitals.

"Gomutra has been used for this purpose since ages. I use it at home every day. It kills germs and is easily available; I get it from the nearby gaushala (cattle shed). I am sure even hospitals can be cleaned properly using it," said Bhamra.

On the other hand, top BMC health officials sounded unsure about using gomutra for hospital hygiene but tiptoed around the subject like a sacred cow.

"Gomutra has been used by individuals for cleaning since ancient times, according to ayurveda. But I am not sure about its usage in hospitals," said Dr Mahendra Wadiwal, in-charge of BMC's peripheral hospitals.

However, Dr V L Deopurkar, former director (Research) Nagpur Veterinary College and associate dean of Bombay Veterinary College minced no words on the topic: "Gomutra will never be accepted as a cleaning agent because of want of scientific data on it. Unfortunately in our country, many politicians are uneducated. Gomutra is used for agriculture purposes, but never for cleaning."
