The Haryana government has announced a comprehensive campaign to tag every stray cattle in the state, aiming to curb illegal cattle movement and improve animal welfare.
The Haryana government has unveiled a new initiative to tag all stray cattle across the state, a move that officials say will help curb illegal cattle trade and improve animal welfare. The campaign, announced by the state’s agriculture department, will involve a coordinated effort between local authorities and veterinary teams.
The primary goal of the tagging drive is to create a reliable database of stray cattle, enabling better tracking and reducing theft or illegal transport. Officials also hope the program will aid in monitoring the health of the animals and ensuring they receive proper veterinary care.
Implementation will begin next month, with teams set to cover major districts first, followed by a phased rollout to smaller towns and rural areas. The state plans to use RFID tags and a digital registry to record each animal’s details.
By establishing a comprehensive tagging system, Haryana aims to strengthen its animal management policies and provide a model for other states to follow.
