Director General, Haryana Animal Husbandry and Dairying Department, KS Dangi on Tuesday said that the State has been widely appreciated for its best breed of Murrah buffalo namely luxmi, which was sold for Rs 25 lakh to a farmer of Andhra Pradesh recently. It has further increased the demand of Haryana Murrah Buffalos in other States which is a matter of pride for Haryana.
