Hyderabad: Ahead of Bakrid, the police installed check-posts in and around the city to prevent the illegal transport of cattle. Hyderabad Police Commissioner Kothakota Sreenivas Reddy stated on Friday that vehicles illegally carrying cattle should be seized and immediately sent to the cattle-holding points, or Goshalas, prescribed by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.

At a coordination meeting held in connection with the ensuing Bakrid at the ICCC in Banjara Hills, the Commissioners of Cyberabad Rachakonda Commissionerate interacted with officials of various departments, including Animal Husbandry, GHMC, and RTA.

During the meeting, Reddy discussed the establishment of check-posts in and around the city commissionerate limits to prevent illegal transport of cattle without a veterinary doctor certificate to transport cattle fit for slaughter. He said, “Vehicles illegally carrying cattle should be seized and immediately sent to the cattle-holding points, or Goshalas, prescribed by the GHMC. The public should not take the law into their own hands regarding the stopping and checking of vehicles carrying cattle,” he added.

Reddy requested the Animal Husbandry Department and GHMC to ensure the availability of veterinary doctors at the check-posts around the clock. He asked the GHMC officials to depute dog-catching squads to move in mixed localities to catch the strays before Bakrid, supply covers to households for disposal of carcasses, and create special teams for garbage and carcass collection on Bakrid and RTA to keep sufficient drivers, mechanics, and cranes at the strategic and central points.

Additional CP Vikram Singh Mann, GHMC Commissioner Ronald Rose, Transport Commissioner Dr Budha Prakash Jyoti, Additional Director, Animal Husbandry, Dr Ch Malleshwari, GHMC Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Abdul Wakil, senior police officers of the city and other officers along with DCPs of law and order, and traffic wings of Hyderabad, DCPs (SB) of Cyberabad and Rachakonda Commissionerate, Additional CPs, ACPs of the city, and veterinary doctors attended the meeting.
