Owners of stray cattle to be fined
The general body meeting of the Yadgir City Municipal Council on Tuesday passed a resolution to fine owners of stray cattle.
Road-users, particularly motorcyclists, are put to hardship owing to the presence of cattle on the roads, particularly when there are no streetlights.
There have several accidents owing to this.
As per the decision taken at the meeting, owners of stray cattle would be fined Rs. 1,050 for allowing the animals on the street.
Of that amount, Rs. 500 would be charged for transporting the cattle to the CMC shed and the remaining Rs. 550 would be used to maintain the animal for 10 days.
If the owner failed to take back the animal, the CMC would wait for ninety days and the animal would be auctioned.
