Total ban on stray pigs, horses in Trichy city
The Trichy corporation has finally come out with a
decision to completely ban stray pigs and horses and restricted the
areas for rearing of other animals in its 65 wards limit from April 1
this year. Moreover, the corporation fixed an annual licence fee for rearing domestic animals. A resolution to this effect was passed at the council meeting here on Wednesday.
The complete ban on pigs and horses in all areas of the city limit was done for the first time after a lot of inconvenience was caused to the general public. However, the corporation allowed rearing of cows, goats and donkeys in some select areas in the four zones. Apart from the complete ban on pigs and horses in all places, the corporation banned the rearing of cows and goats in 15 wards in three zones Srirangam (three wards), K Abishekapuram (three wards) and Ponmalai (nine wards). However, there is no complete ban on cows and goats in Ariyamangalam.
Meanwhile, the corporation listed out the areas where the people are allowed to rear animals like cows and goats. The corporation allowed to rear donkeys in only two areas - Vannarapettai in ward no. 52 and Azhagiripuram in ward no. 4 in the city taking into consideration the washermen in those areas. As per the new rule, the owners should get an annual licence by paying Rs 500 each for cows and goats and Rs 200 for donkeys. The licensed animals will be tied a metal identification plate around their necks. However, the owners of such animals should keep vigil on their animals while they take them to streets.
The corporation also warned that if the banned animals are caught by the corporation staff, they will be auctioned.
It may be recalled that the corporation tabled an agenda in its January 30 council meeting to ban stray animals in restricted areas. However, the move was turned down by the council members citing no clarity. So, the corporation on Wednesday submitted a new set of regulations and the council passed the resolution.
