He said a team of the MCYJ had caught 25 stray cattle from the industrial area, Shahid Bhagat Singh Chowk, Maharana Pratap Chowk, Workshop road and several other areas of the zone-II of the MCYJ on Tuesday.

He further said after catching the animals, they were taken to gaushalas of the district.

“The campaign of the Municipal Corporation will continue until the city is free of stray cattle. All stray animals roaming in the city will be caught,” said Dutt.

CSI Harjeet Singh said a team of the MCYJ had caught nine stray cattle from near the bus stand of Jagadhri, from Ambala Road, Yamunanagar Road, Paonta Road, Railway Road, Chhoti Line and several other areas of the zone-1 of the MCYJ on Monday.

Deputy Municipal Commissioner Dr Vijay Pal Yadav said no person should leave the cattle in the open.

“If anyone leaves their cattle in the open, a fine of Rs 5,100 will be imposed on him,” said Yadav.

He appealed to the general public that if they saw any stray cattle anywhere, they should click its photograph and send it along with the address or location to the MCYJ's WhatsApp number 7082410524.

He added that the teams of the MCYJ would be immediately sent to the spot and the stray cattle would be caught and taken to the gaushala.

“The MCYJ is paying Rs 30 per cattle per day to the operators of gaushalas for fodder for the cattle being caught by the MCYJ teams and left in the gaushalas,” said Yadav.
