Dimapur, July 18 (EMN): The Zunheboto district administration has ordered confining cattle and dogs in Zunheboto town. The order was necessitated reportedly by cattle and dogs moving ‘unrestrictedly’ and trespassing into private and public properties ‘littering the town with their droppings,’ according to the government bulletin, DIPR, on Wednesday. ‘Similarly dogs feed on garbage piles and litter the area creating unhygienic and filthy environment,’ the update stated.
Following a meeting with the local Gaon Bura on July 12, the district’s administration has issued an order reining in cattle and dogs. The deputy commissioner of Zunheboto, Shanavas C, has informed citizens that free and unrestricted movement of cattle and dogs in and around the town has been banned. The administration has stipulated a period of 10 days i.e., till July 22, Sunday, for owners to ‘control the movement’ and confine the cattle and dogs.
Stray cattle and dogs seen ‘roaming’ after the expiry of the period i.e., from July 23, shall be shot without further notice, the administration stated. No complaint will be entertained ‘for non-compliance of this directive,’ the update added.
