Sweeping Raids in Assam: Over 133 Apprehended for Violating Cattle Law

  • On Tuesday, Assam Police conducted simultaneous raids across multiple districts, apprehending 132 people for illegal cattle slaughter and unauthorized beef sale.
  • The recent enforcement actions came after Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma vowed last month to enhance implementation of the 2021 legislation aimed at protecting cattle in Assam, in light of disturbances reported since Eid ul Zuha.
  • Raids targeted over 100 eateries including hotels in Guwahati, Dibrugarh, Kokrajhar, and Nagaon, resulting in the seizure of 1,084 kg of meat suspected to be beef.
  • Sarma affirmed that religious freedoms remain safeguarded but cautioned that any legal breaches will be met with stringent measures, highlighting the operation’s foundation in law.
  • The operation reinforced the Assam Cattle Preservation Act’s restrictions on cattle slaughter and beef sale near temples and Hindu-majority areas and is expected to continue amid political sensitivities.
