Bill seeks to ban the transport of cattle within as well as to and from the State
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday tabled the Assam Cattle Preservation Bill, 2021, on the first day of the 126-member Assembly’s Budget session. The State Cabinet had a week ago approved the Bill seeking to ban the transport of cattle within as well as to and from Assam, ostensibly to stop smuggling to Bangladesh. The Bill would replace the existing the Assam Cattle Preservation Act, 1950, which allowed the slaughter of cattle above the age of 14 after approval from local veterinary officers.More Related News
