Tiruchy corporation council resolution to reduce fine for stray cattle by half raises eyebrows

New Indian Express  

TIRUCHY: The resolution to reduce the fine on owners letting their cattle astray to Rs 2,500 from Rs 5,000 adopted unanimously at Wednesday’s corporation council meeting has caught city residents by surprise who question the intention behind such a move. This has also set off doubts over the status of another resolution the civic body adopted in November 2024, announcing a Rs 20,000 fine on owners caught releasing cattle in the city more than once. According to Mayor Mu Anbalagan's statement in the council meeting, the civic body collected about Rs 19.7 lakh in fine from stray cattle owners between November 2022 and February 26, 2025. If we notice that the recent reduction in fine amount worsens the situation, we would take corrective measures," an official said.
