Bhubaneswar, Aug 11: Addressing persistent concerns about stray cattle causing traffic disruptions, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials have been actively engaging with citizens in various forums to find a solution.

BMC Commissioner, Vijay Amruta Kulange today chaired a meeting today in this connection. Effective immediately, no individual is allowed to leave their cattle unattended on roads or in public spaces. This decision aims to address the rising incidents of accidents, traffic congestion, and transportation disruptions that mar the city's image.

Acknowledging the negative impact of aged and diseased stray cattle left unattended, BMC has adopted a zero-tolerance approach. Rigorous actions will be undertaken to tackle this issue, including legal actions against those responsible for illegal cowsheds causing unsanitary conditions. Owners without proper cowsheds on their own land will be held accountable.

BMC will work in collaboration with various Goshalas to provide a safe and humane haven for these animals. To facilitate a comprehensive approach, representatives from Goshala organizations from Jatni, Begunia, Brahmagiri, and other locations were invited to the meeting.

A recent survey revealed that nearly 800 stray cattle owners fall under BMC's jurisdiction. The management and irresponsible abandonment of cattle on roads are causing severe concerns for citizens. The rise in accidents involving stray cattle and daily traffic disruptions prompted BMC to take stringent action under the Municipal Corporation Law of 2003.
