The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Delhi government and local authorities to respond to a petition seeking the removal of stray animals such as cows and bulls from the city’s roads and highways to prevent accidents.
The High Court also issued notice to Deputy Commissioner (Traffic) and Deputy Commissioner of South Delhi Municipal Corporation based on the petition by Satish Sharma, a lawyer, who claimed to have suffered injuries after “stray cows and bulls started quarrelling” on the road.
Mr. Sharma said several stray cows and bulls are wandering freely on the roads after being abandoned by their owners and despite several complaints to the concerned authorities, the animals are yet to be removed.
