Answer to the problem: Get the municipal council to set up a pound, and put all
the stray cattle in there. If no-one claims the cattle in a week, arrange for
them to be sold.

> BICHOLIM, SEPT 16
> Stray animals have been creating havoc in Bicholim City, even as
> Bicholim Municipal Council (BMC) has claimed that the menace would be
> solved within a month.
> Stray cows and cattle have been creating problem to the commuters in
> the city. The menace is serious, as everyday over 40 stray animals are
> seen on the roads. During market day, it creates problem to the
> vegetable vendors and grocery shop owners.
> “The problem is very serious and the municipal council has to act upon
> this and solve the issue,” Naresh Kadkade, a shop owner, told Herald.
> “The High Court has also directed that such cattle should not remain
> on the roads and it is the responsibility of the concerned municipal
> council to check on this,” added Kadkade.
> “BMC has deputed a worker in the market, who is seen running after the
> animals, especially on the market day, but ultimately they return back
> to the same spot after some time. All these animals should be tied and
> the owners should be fined,” said Kadkade.
> It may be recalled that during the last council meeting, BMC had
> resolved to keep the cattle menace under control and had also decided
> to assign the responsibility to a private agency from Valpoi.
>
> As per the contract, BMC would pay the agency Rs 2 lakh, who take
> away the stray cattle.
> It was also decided to fine the cattle owner Rs 250 per day.
> When asked about the council decision and its implementation, the
> authorities admitted that the stray cattle are a grave problem in
> Bicholim. The authorities assured that the menace would be solved by
> the second week of October.
