The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government of India has withdrawn its recent rules that banned the sale of cattle including buffaloes for slaughter in animal markets

A government notification said on Saturday that the environment ministry of the Centre withdrew its previous rules that had triggered massive controversy in the country where a majority of people consume cattle meat.

Several states including BJP ruled Goa had objected to the new rules saying it infringed on their rights to regulate cattle trade in their states for which many states had their own laws. The Supreme Court stayed implementation of the rules after the Centre said it was reviewing the rules.

“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 38 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (59 of 1960), except as respects things done or omitted to be done before such withdrawal, the Central Government, hereby withdraws the notification number dated the 23rd May, 2017,” the government order read.

The Centre has also withdrawn rules, which sought to regulate fish and aquarium markets, according to a government notification.

Under these rules, aquarium owners and their establishments were required to register themselves.

The government has withdrawn the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Aquarium and Fish Tank Animal Shop) Rules, 2017, the notification issued on Novermber 30 said.

The development comes within days after the Dharma Sansad in Udupi passed a resolution urging the centre to strictly implement total ban on cow slaughter and beef export.

BJP has taken this step only to support beef export by sangh parivar beef exporters.   many bjp leaders are involved in beef export business and they are only doing drama of cow slaughter ban and fooling innocent citizens.    bjp is making huge amount of money by beef export.   Supremet court should order immediate ban on cow slaughter + beef export respecting religious feelings of Hindus as Cow is their mother of millions of Gods and Goddesses.

This is the master U-turn of NoMo govt. A day may come when the saffron party includes importing beef from Arabia in its poll manifesto!!!

Bengaluru, Jul 17: The Doctors at Fortis Hospital, here on Friday, successfully treated a 97-year-old patient who suffered an embolic stroke due to calcified stenosis (narrowing of an artery resulting in restriction of blood flow).

In a release, the Hospital authorities stated that the team of doctors led by Dr Rajpal Singh, Director and Interventional Cardiologist, Fortis Hospital, Bangalore successfully conducted Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) to increase the blood flow in the blocked areas which had resulted in stroke following stringent safety protocols and ensuring proper segregation of COVID and Non-COVID patients at the hospital.
