Rs 10,000 fine for abandoning livestock in Rohtak

A fine of Rs 10,000 will be

imposed on a person who is found to have abandoned his

livestock, and such animals will be sent to 'nandishalas' or

'gaushalas', an official said today.

Haryana Deputy Director, Animal Husbandry and Dairying

Department, Surya Khatkar said that orders to this effect have

been issued by Rohtak Deputy Commissioner Atul Kumar.

He said as per the directions of Chief Minister Manohar

Lal Khattar, the district administration is making concerted

efforts to put an end to menace of stray cattle in the

district.

However, these efforts were being hindered with

people leaving their cattle on the roads, Khatkar said.

He appealed to the people to help the district

administration to identify those persons who leave their

animals on the roads, so that the goal of stray cattle and

accident-free roads may be achieved.
