Every vehicle carrying animals will be checked and prohibited animals like cow, calf will be seized. 'A case will be booked for carrying the prohibited animals and the animals will be moved to the Municipal Corporation facility,' said a police officer at Mozamjahi Market.
Moreover, GHMC officials assured that sanitisation teams would be dispatched to clear roads, ponds, and open drains.
Hyderabad city police commissioner CV Anand appealed to the public and Gau Rakshak members not to take the law into their own hands, emphasising that only government officials and law enforcement agencies are authorised to stop or inspect vehicles carrying animals.
