The Rajnandgaon Municipal Corporation has intensified its ongoing cattle catching drive to curb the menace of stray animals on city roads and public places. Acting through a specially constituted team, the civic body is regularly inspecting major intersections and acting on public complaints to catch roaming and unattended cattle.
As part of the drive on Wednesday, a total of eight stray cattle were seized from various inner-city localities, including Kailash Nagar, Math Para, Ganj Chowk, Nandai, Brahman Para and Gandhi Chowk. The seized animals have been shifted to the Kanharpuri Kanji House, where they are being provided nutritious feed, including fodder and leftover fruits and vegetables collected from local markets.
Municipal officials said that, apart from routine inspections, prompt action is also being taken on complaints received through the Nidan 1100 grievance redressal system and other channels. In recent days, action on complaints led to the seizure of 11 stray cattle, effectively resolving the reported issues.
Under the direction of Municipal Commissioner Atul Vishwakarma, the cattle catching team is actively working during the day to seize roaming cattle from busy junctions and market areas, while night patrols are conducted to drive away animals sitting or moving on main roads and key intersections. The aim is to ensure smooth traffic flow and reduce the risk of road accidents.

After being caught, the cattle are housed in the Kanji House, where they are fed chopped straw along with leftover fruits and vegetables brought daily from the Basantpur Ganj market to ensure proper nutrition. Sick or injured animals are shifted to gaushalas or pinjrapoles for medical treatment.
Commissioner Vishwakarma stated that the seized cattle will be released only after payment of the prescribed charges and fines, amounting to ₹570 per animal, as per rules. He also appealed to cattle owners to keep their animals properly tied and not leave them unattended on roads, warning that stray cattle pose serious traffic hazards and increase the likelihood of accidents.
