Mathura: Police lays out plan to prevent cow smuggling

Mathura district administration today chalked out a plan to foil cow smuggling, a day after a truck was set ablaze and the National Highway 2 blocked by residents of Chaumuhan area here after the vehicle was found carrying carcasses of 30 cows.

“The district has been divided into four sectors. Thorough checking would be done at every entry point,” district police chief Babloo Kumar said.

Asked about yesterday’s incident, he said police will soon find out who had brought the cows, how and from where were they being transported and from where the cattle were purchased.
