63 bovines rescued in Chanda, 5 nabbed Chandrapur police intercepted two trucks on Mul Road, rescuing 63 cattle being transported illegally and seizing assets worth 58.2 lakh rupees. Five individuals were arrested during the operation, which took place near the MEL checkpoint. The action was part of a coordinated patrol initiated by the Superintendent of Police to combat illegal activities such as cattle smuggling, gambling, and property-related offenses. Officials confirmed the vehicles were stopped following a tip-off, leading to the discovery of the livestock. A total of 11 accused have been booked by Ramnagar police. The operation highlighted the police’s efforts to curb illegal trade in livestock, which has been a persistent issue in the region. Cattle smuggling often involves large-scale transportation of animals across state borders, bypassing legal channels and depriving farmers of fair market prices. The intercepted trucks were reportedly carrying the cattle without proper documentation, violating animal welfare and legal regulations. The Superintendent of Police emphasized that the coordinated patrol aimed to address multiple illicit activities simultaneously. By targeting smuggling networks, the police sought to disrupt organized crime and protect local economies. The seized assets, including the cattle and cash, will be handed over to authorities for further legal proceedings. The incident underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement in tackling cross-border smuggling. Despite increased patrols and intelligence-sharing, such operations remain critical to dismantling illegal networks. The rescued cattle will be transferred to government-run livestock centers, where they will be evaluated for health and market readiness.#chandrapur_police #superintendent_of_police #mul_road #melf_checkpoint #ramnagar_police
