Stray cattle menace has resurfaced in different parts of the city. Though it has been a perennial issue, there were not many cattle on the streets during the total lockdown period. Food leftovers and leaves dumped by the restaurants, marriage halls and roadside eateries have been the main sources of food for the stray cattle loitering in the city. They thrive by eating the unsold and discarded vegetables, leaves and fruits dumped by the traders at Gandhi market and weekly shandies. The vegetable waste found strewn on roadsides and streets is said to be another reason for the proliferation of stray cattle in the city. But most cattle could not get sufficient food for the last two months due to the closure of Gandhi Market and restaurants, marriage halls and roadside eateries in the wake of intense lockdown imposed by the State government. This forced cattle owners to take the cattle for grazing.More Related News
