They did the same in Mumbai recently. What, just what, is wrong with these guys? Sarkari monsters who work at the "municiopal corporation" seem especially berserk. "Municipal corporation(s)" have special teams to withdraw the menace of cows and rabid dogs from the city. These teams are equipped with a huge van and nets and what not. I suggest establishing a paralell municipal corporation (with maoist help from nepal, if you please) and putting our cattle-catching team after these sarkari monsters.
