Morung Express | New Delhi, October 26 (PTI):
Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi has written to DoNER Minister Jitendra Singh, requesting him to end illegal trade and consumption of dog meat in the north-east region and also sought the intervention of NIA in tracing traders indulging in drugs and arms trafficking.
