Cow gaushala running near me spreading waste. And animals hit people


A. In this case, municipal corporations are the first one who should be involved, than you can go to the police station having the jurisdiction for the actions. You can sue the authorities at Gaushala for non-compliance of their duties and causing nuisance in the public.

A. Dear Sir,
Such sections needs to be amended but politicians so called law makers have not time. Any such provision will be read with section 428 of IPC which is punishable upto 2 years.
