Chennai Corporation to Fine Owners of Unchipped Cattle

The Greater Chennai Corporation plans to impose fines on cattle owners whose animals are not fitted with identification microchips. This initiative aims to curb the number of stray cattle roaming city streets and reduce the risk of traffic accidents.

Currently, out of the 22,875 cattle identified in the city, fewer than 1,000 have been microchipped. The municipal body intends to use this measure to enforce stricter control over livestock management and improve road safety.
