On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court sought the Delhi Government's and other authorities' views on a plea demanding the removal of stray cows and bulls from roads and highways to avert accidents. On the plea of Satish Sharma, a lawyer, who claimed to have been injured after "stray cows and bulls started fighting" on the road, Justice V Kameswar Rao issued notice to the Delhi Government, Deputy Commissioner (Traffic), and Deputy Commissioner of South Delhi Municipal Corporation. The lawyer stated in the petition that there are several stray cows and bulls roaming freely on the highways after being abandoned by their owners, and the animals have yet to be removed despite several complaints to the authorities concerned. On December 15, 2021, the petitioner was riding his bike home when a herd of stray cows and bulls began squabbling across the road. The petitioner had suffered injuries to his palm, wrist, knee, and ankle as a result of a fight between a herd of stray cows and bulls. Immediately, the petitioner collapsed on the road, but a passing motorist saved him. According to the petition “In these kinds of incidents and circumstances, there can be grave possibilities of the road accident. With the grace of God, the life of the petitioner has been saved in two incidents. Although the authorities and officials failed to perform their lawful duties and obligations,” it added. The petition contended that it is the duty of the authorities to prevent the gathering of cows and bulls on the roads and their inaction is illegal, wrong, and uncalled for.
