Only police can take action against illegal cattle transport: Maharashtra police issues order after Ajit Pawar's intervention
Days after Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar held a meeting with the Qureshi community in the presence of top police officers and instructed police authorities to take note of the problems created by 'private individuals' in the transportation of legally permitted animals, the Maharashtra police has issued a circular stating only police authorities should take action against people involved in illegal cattle transport. The circular issued by Special Inspector General (Law and Order) Dr Manoj Kumar Sharma stated that many traders have submitted statements on private individuals stopping and checking when traders transport cattle, with some of them being beaten up. 'Only police or other authorities concerned should take action against people involved in illegal cattle transport as soon as they receive information. It is not legal for private individuals to stop vehicles and check/beat them (traders) up. However, if any citizen complains about illegal cattle transport, they (authorities) should immediately take legal action,' it stated. The circular further stated that it should be ensured that traders who follow all the rules while transporting animals are not disturbed. Also, legal matters should be completed regarding the return of captured animals from traders who follow all the rules and action should be taken as per the rules. 'It should be ensured that in the case of animals mentioned in the Maharashtra Animal Preservation Act, 1976 (As amended in 2015), action will be taken only under Section 8 (3) of the said Act,' it concluded. On August 6, Pawar had asked police authorities to direct district police heads to not allow private individuals to inspect vehicles transporting animals. Several delegations of the Qureshi community were present at the meeting with Pawar. It was attended by Director General of Police Rashmi Shukla and Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti along with other officials. In a memorandum of demands submitted to Pawar, the representatives of the community demanded a ban on illegal gaurakshaks (self-styled cow vigilantes), protection to transport legally allowed animals, withdrawal of false cases and clearing restrictions on transport licences. 'The Qureshi community is traditionally associated with meat trade and is a part of Maharashtra's agriculture-based economy. Therefore, no injustice will be allowed to be done to the traders of this community and the farmers who transport animals,' Pawar said in the meeting, as per the official statement from the Deputy Chief Minister's office. The delegation had raised the issue of harassment of animal traders by illegal gaurakshaks. 'The violent acts against the traders from Qureshi community and farmers who transport legally allowed animals has led to many losing their lives. The community is forced to call for a strike… Following the 2015 ban on cow slaughter, the transport is already limited. Now, the ongoing actions will affect the legal transport of animals such as buffaloes,' said the letter submitted to Pawar.

The Villupuram Collector, Sheik Abdul Rahman, has instructed organisers of Vinayaka Chathurthi festival not to install statues that measure more than 10 feet from the ground level. He was speaking at a law and order review meeting on Tuesday convened ahead of Vinayaka Chaturthi, which falls on August 27. The meeting was attended by Superintendent of Police P. Saravanan. The Collector said that those installing idols should have obtained a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the respective tahsildars. If the site where the idols are to be installed is situated on a private land, the NOC should be obtained from land owners and if the site happens to be on a poromboke land, the NOCs would have to be obtained from the concerned department or the local body. The organisers should be aware that a NOC should be obtained from the police for use of public address system and a certificate from the Fire and Rescue Services should certify that adequate fire prevention measures have been put in place and an acknowledgement should be obtained from the Tangedco. Idols should be made of clay and no plaster of paris and other chemical substances should be used. Water soluble paints should be used and chemical paints were not allowed. Idols should not be installed in places that are closer to other places of worship, hospitals and educational institutions. Cone-type speakers are prohibited and only box-type speakers can be used. Organisers should ensure optimum lighting and fire and rescue services personnel should ensure that fire prevention measures are in place. Flowers, cloths, decorative items and plastic should be removed from the idol before immersion, the Collector added.

Ramanathapuram SP hands over 100 mobile phones to owners
Ramanathapuram district Superintendent of Police G. Chandeesh handed over Rs.25 lakh worth mobile phones to the owners here on Wednesday. As about 582 mobile phones were handed over to the concerned owners in 2024, 300 mobile phones were handed over to the owners in 2025. In addition, 100 more were given to the complainants who had lost their mobile phones to thefts and other reasons. During the event, Mr. Chandeesh informed the public to be cautious about calls demanding personal details and other information about bank accounts. Also, only the customer care numbers authorized by the banks should be used to register complaints or for any other queries, he added. 'Also public should not fall prey to gaming applications and software promising monetary profits. People should also refrain from depositing money for online jobs in return,' he said. In the name of chit funds, there were crime syndicates operating to swindle the deposited money. 'Though several crimes have been registered regarding chit fund organisations siphoning off crores of rupees, people continue to believe and deposit money for bigger returns,' he noted. Such crimes could be prevented only if the public become aware of the techniques employed by fraudsters in cheating people, Mr. Chandeesh said.
