Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma assured that there will be no restriction on cattle rearing for farming purposes.
The Assam assembly today passed amendments to its Cattle Preservation Act, which was passed only four months back. The amendments bring two major changes to the Act, including allowing inter-district movement of cattle except in border districts.
The Cattle Preservation (Amendment) Bill was passed on Thursday during the ongoing session of the Assam legislative assembly.
One of the amendments allows the appropriate court to order for sale of seized vehicles or conveyance, including boats, vessels, etc., except cattle, through a public auction, after being produced before the court during any inquiry or trial.
Another amendment allows inter-district movement of cattle, except for the border districts.
