SHILLONG: Yet again as many as 32 cattle were seized in Meghalaya by the BSF troops deployed at Lynghat and Baldamgiri under East Khasi Hills and South West Garo Hills districts on Tuesday.
According to BSF, smuggling of cattle has seen a phenomenal increase this year at the International border with Bangladesh.
According to BSF, measures like auctioning of cattle beyond 100 to 150 Km away from international border and having a system of ascertaining credentials of auctioneers and purchasers will somehow act as a catalyst to lower the frequency of cattle smuggling.
“This will automatically increase the cost of transportation for the smugglers and hence act as an effective deterrent,” the BSF said.
Besides, BSF troops deployed at Baghmara, South West Garo Hills seized three rafts with 114.19 Cft wooden worth Rs.7.70 lakh from the Simsang river. This is the second instance in the same area. Earlier, two rafts with 79.98 Cft wooden log worth Rs.5.40 Lakh was seized last week.
