The Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department of the Government of Assam inaugurated a web portal in a bid to prevent illegal transportation of cattle in the state.
Illegal Cattle Transportation
The portal was launched by Assam Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and Veterinary Minister Atul Bora in an event held in Guwahati on June 15.
The system is prepared under the Assam Cattle Preservation Act, 2021. It will alleviate the problems encountered in transportation of improved breeds of high milk producing cattle to the state.
The portal will help in preventing the illegal transportation of cattle. Livestock farmers and cattle traders can obtain permits required for inter-state transportation of cattle through the website http://ahvd-cattletrans.assam.gov.in from now on.
While speaking at the occasion, the Agriculture Minister said that this initiative is expected to achieve the goal of making Assam self-reliant in dairy sector.
