From The Times Of India

The strenuous engagement in checking cattle smuggling from the Asom-Meghalaya stretch of the Indo-Bangladesh border has prompted the BSF to advocate for a "limited legalization" of the cattle trade. "Each day, cattle are being seized in Dhubri area of Assam and the Khasi- Jaintia hills districts of Meghalaya," a BSF official said. The BSF frontier chief also felt that cattle smuggling can be thoroughly dealt with if the government thinks of legalizing cattle trade through the proposed border haats (markets).
