SHILLONG: The Khasi Jaintia Butcher’s Welfare Association recently announced that they will suspend their activities from January 18 till February 3 in protest against the inability of the Syiem of Hima Mylliem and the State government to stop cattle smuggling to Bangladesh.
The association also informed that they will discontinue purchasing cattle from Khanapara which falls under the jurisdiction of Hima Mylliem, as they have been facing difficulties in view of rampant smuggling of cattle to the neighbouring country.
The association has urged the State government and the Syiem of Hima Mylliem to look into the matter and act appropriately.
