My applause to the Gujarat HC Judge for taking stern action and sentencing the accused (owner of cows) to six months imprisonment, for letting loose the cattle on the roads and thus endangering the lives of the people. Is this law different in our state of Goa?
It's really sad that almost in every village street and at times on the highways, cattle are seeing roaming and some engaging in fight (Dhiryo) in the middle of the road as seen in the picture.
Travel in the nights is a nightmare as the colour of the cattle goes unnoticed causing loss of lives, both of the humans and the cattle. The impounding cattle authorities nor the patrolling police officials are least interested in penalizing the irresponsible cattle owners. Will our authorities act before more and more precious lives are lost?
