The urban development department is formulating a bill to effectively curb thecattle menacein urban areas of the state. Although the does not intend to bancattlealtogether in cities, it is expected to make punishment more stringent for cattle roaming on the streets.
The highlight of the new law will be that every cattle head in urban areas will have to be accounted for and owners will have to get a license for every cattle that they own.
The minister said that the new law will not entirely ban cattle in urban areas, but the punishment for leaving cattle on the roads will be made more stringent.
