Illegal transport of cattle & other livestock in DK can now be checked through this APP

August 7: The district administration has come up with a mobile application to help cattle transporters intimate officials on the legal transport of livestock, including cattle, goats and sheep. Livestock logistic control’,  the App will be available on Play Store within two days.

Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil said that cattle transporters and farmers too can download the app, enter their mobile phone numbers, and get OTPs. They will then have to furnish details on the place from where the livestock is being transported, the number of animals, the vehicle registration number and a photograph of the livestock. There is a self-certifying form, which the transporters have to fill. In case officials stop the vehicles, the transporters can give the OTPs after intimating the officials.
Even though the app is not mandatory, it will help inform the Animal Husbandry Department officials on the transport work.
However, a cattle transporter should have proper documents to show the source of the cattle or livestock. DC Senthil mentioned that stringent measures will be taken against illegal transport of animals If anyone has information about illegal transport of cattle, then it should be brought to the notice of the officials, by dialling 1077 or 100,
