In the aftermath of a tragic incident where a stray bull gored a woman to death and injured 12 other people in Jamshedpur's Mango area, the local authorities have taken swift action to address the issue of stray animals roaming the streets.
On Friday, a three-member team from the Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC), led by veterinary officer Dr. Sagar Hansda, conducted a survey to identify the stray bulls within the city limits. The team's efforts resulted in the identification of 80 stray bulls across 10 public places in Jamshedpur.
The authorities have now initiated a drive to round up these stray bulls and transfer them to dedicated shelter homes. Thirteen bulls were rescued from Sakchi, while two each were rescued near the Tatanagar railway station, the Sunday market in Birsanagar, and the Agrico and Baridih markets.
JNAC's deputy town commissioner, Krishna Kumar, stated that in addition to rescuing the stray bulls, the authorities will also serve notices to the owners of the animals who had abandoned them on the streets. These owners could face action under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act.
Kumar emphasized that the drive to identify and rescue stray animals will continue in the coming days, with the aim of clearing the streets, markets, and colonies of Jamshedpur of any abandoned or stray creatures.
