Cow-ed Down, The MC Again Fails The Battle Cattle In Patiala

The four legged animals are ruing the ruling the roads from a very long time and are considered as responsible for many accidents. Moreover, these stray animals lead to a big chaos in the smooth running traffic. And when you try to move them away they take ages to even move an inch. Therefore most of the people leave these commuters roaming around in despair.

Here the important thing to be noticed is that the Municipal Corporation is not yet able to cure this menace.

There have been already many victims of the tussle between these animals on the road. In 2002, Daya Shankar was crushed in a road accident because of tussle between two bulls. After that accident the  high court as the municipal corporation to pay the compensation to the family of Daya Shankar however even after the eleven years of accident the municipal corporation had not taken any type of significant step in this aspect.

The brother of Daya Shankar even aid the municipal corporation hasn’t even learnt a lesson from their mistakes since the chaos is being continually created by these animals.

SK Ahuluwalia who was the former commissioner of Municipal Corporation said that a small part of a land was transferred on the name of the municipal corporation however, even after a long time the foundation stone has been laid but still the land has remained unused.

The problem is not only created by these stray animals but also by the bumpy roads. The roads are full of bumpy terrains and create a big trouble for the four wheelers and two wheelers in the various regions of Patiala.

These narrow lanes which are in the old city are considered to be full of stray cattle. The space is insufficient for these stray cattle and there is small space for the traffic which further leads to the accidents. Recently a cyclist fractured his leg while going through these roads.

A student of the Bikkram College also said that these stray animals can be threat to the city smooth traffic. Moreover, these stray animals including cattle, pigs and dogs freely loiter on these roads. Therefore, it is very important to control this nuisance.

When the mayor of the city Amrindrer Bajaj was approached for this matter, he preferred to take the refuge in contention that the villagers from surrounding areas are scared that animals out of their city will also protect their crop.
