Strict Action On Cattle Owners By Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation

Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) brought in new rules and warned cattle owners  of strict action.

BMC said that if the cattle are found moving on the streets strict disciplinary action will be taken against them.

Additional Municipal Commissioner, convened a meeting on cattle welfare program in the city.

He clearly said that if a cattle is found roaming on the streets it will be immediately taken to a transit shed.

The owner will have to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000 for its release. This will allowed only once.

The second time if the act is repeated,  the cattle will be handed over to a Self Help Group (SHG) of a neighboring district for diary farming.

This step has been taken to prevent the traffic chaos and accidents that take place due to loitering cattle.
