Bishnupur district administration has instructed owners of domesticated animals in the district to keep them in proper sheds or feed them at suitable grazing/pasture grounds under the supervision of a cattle herder in order to prevent any untoward incident/nuisance.
In a notification, Bishnupur DC Lourembam Bikram informed that many herds of cattle from nearby villages and municipal areas of Bishnupur district are seen blocking the National Highway-02 and other main roads thereby causing inconvenience to the public as well as vehicles plying on the Highway and other roads.
Because of their undesirable presence, there is likelihood/occurrence of road accidents or other mishaps and disturbance to the public particularly during the visit of the delegates for the G-20 Summit Meeting in Bishnupur district on February 18, the DC informed.
The DC also cautioned that any person/owners defying the order shall be liable to be punished under Section 8 B of the National Highways Act, 1956 read with Chapter-III of the Cattle-Trespass Act, 1871 .
