The police in Varakol Thana have arrested two criminals along with 18 cows in Rasoolpur village, located on the UP-Bihar border, while four other criminals managed to escape by attacking the police. Among the arrested accused are Ghurul Chaudhary and Munna Yadav from Narahi Thana in Ballia district, while the absconding accused, Chandan Gupta, Mithilesh Yadav, Durga Gupta, and Suresh Gupta, are all residents of Gazipur and Ballia district, and are currently being sought by the police.
The incident took place in the early hours of the morning when the police received a tip-off about the illegal transportation of cows from Bihar to Uttar Pradesh. Acting on the tip-off, the police set up a barricade near the village and intercepted a truck carrying 18 cows. The police asked the occupants of the truck to show their documents and permit for the transportation of the cows, but they failed to produce any valid documents.
The police then tried to detain the occupants of the truck, but four of them attacked the police with sticks and managed to flee from the scene. The police chased them, but they managed to escape. The two criminals who were arrested have been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
The incident has once again highlighted the rampant illegal transportation of cows in the country, particularly in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, where cow slaughter is illegal. Cows are considered sacred by the Hindu community in India, and the transportation and slaughter of cows have led to several instances of communal violence in the past.
The police have been cracking down on the illegal transportation of cows, and several arrests have been made in the past few months. However, the illegal trade continues to thrive, with the involvement of organized gangs and the complicity of some law enforcement officials.
The illegal transportation of cows not only violates the law but also poses a threat to the health and safety of the animals. The cows are often transported in cramped conditions, without proper food and water, and are subjected to physical abuse. The transportation of cows also poses a threat to the environment, as the waste produced by the animals can lead to soil and water pollution.
The government has been taking steps to curb the illegal transportation of cows, including the establishment of special task forces to crack down on the illegal trade. However, more needs to be done to address the issue effectively. The government needs to increase awareness about the ill effects of the illegal transportation of cows and promote alternative livelihood options for those involved in the trade.
In addition, the government needs to strengthen law enforcement agencies and ensure that those involved in the illegal trade are brought to justice. The government should also take steps to address the root causes of the problem, such as poverty and unemployment, which drive people to engage in the illegal trade.
In conclusion, the illegal transportation of cows is a serious issue that needs to be addressed urgently. The government needs to take strong measures to crack down on the illegal trade and promote alternative livelihood options for those involved in the trade. The police should also be given the necessary resources and training to tackle the problem effectively. Only then can we hope to put an end to this illegal and inhumane trade and ensure the safety and well-being of the animals involved.
