The gang of livestock was active within the first urban area. Now the gang is active in the rural area. The gang, which has been raised in the village, is living under the auspices of the villagers as the gang is activated. This type of incident has come out of many villages. The villagers have been instructed to be vigilant.
In the village of Moraiya in Sanand taluka of Ahmedabad district, the incident of lifting cattle recently has come to light. The gang smuggling of the animal comes in night action. The village enters the smart cars at night. Where the animals are resting, they lift them and leave them in the vehicle. A similar incident has recently happened in the village of Moraiya. CCTV has also surfaced of the incident in Moraiya village. If you also see how the animals are lifted. The incident came before the villagers when the calf was released in the village early in the morning, and CCTV tested in the village, searching for where the calf went, it was found that the calf was smuggled from the village. Which was guaranteed on the basis of CCTV in the village. The incident came to a gang of cattle smuggling at midnight and took the calf in his expensive car. This smuggled from the temple of Mahadev in the village. We also went to the place where the animal smuggled the calf. After going there, the calf of Maldhari who had lifted the whole event was heard from the mouth.
Hearing the suffering of Maldhari and we went to the village panchayat house. In the panchayat house we had a gift with Deputy Sarpanch and village leaders. Then the deputy sarpanch of the village spoke seriously about the entire incident and said, “We are worried about the people of the village.” The villagers have been instructed to be vigilant. CCTVs in the village are constantly being monitored. The police have also been asked to take concrete action by complaining to the police not to reduce such incidents.
But the Maldhari community is worried about the smuggling gang at night. Talking about the village of Moraiya, more than 50 families in the village belong to the Maldhari community. The Maldhari family has more than 500 cattle. today, all these people bring their animals to the house and tie their courtyards from home. Also locked at night. Before the incident, the maladis were built in the village’s yard. But now the villagers have come to build their own house.
The fear of the villagers is so much that women are constantly fearing fears because of fear. Even if you go to the village on a washed day, the women of the village say that they are afraid, some women also say that this is not the first time the first incident has happened before. Because of this, there is an atmosphere of fear among the villagers.
In order to prevent such incident, the East Sarpanch has formed a team of youths along with the Maldhari community and the villagers and is also suggested to wear at night. The East Sarpanch is working hard to ensure that other people are not smuggled.
It is not that this incident of Moraiya village has dropped. CCTV of Moraiya village has come out. But this kind of incident has been happening in many villages for the last two years. Animal smuggling incident has also occurred several times in Visalpur of Talukas taluka for the last one year. When we went to Visalpur to find out such an incident, we found out that a year ago, a family living in Thakorwas had come to four to five people at night and lifted the calf tied to the house. He also complained to the police to know.
CCTVs have also been installed in the village due to the smuggling incident in Visalpur so that action can be taken against the smugglers. But there is still an atmosphere of fear among the people of the village. The villagers say, “We have been smuggling cattle several times.” Can’t go in front Because they come with a weapon, so fear. This becomes a situation that we can do nothing even though we know.
Although there is frequent cattle smuggling, we asked Ellisbridge Legislative Assembly BJP MLA Amit Shah that the smuggling of cattle was happening in the countryside, he said that he had been in the city earlier. At that time, such an incident was happening in the city. While the city is no longer caught, the cattle smuggling gang has become active in villages. Targets in the village.
When we also asked Congress MLA Imran Khedwala about animal trafficking, he said that any one should impose a person smuggling the munga cattle, the government should take steps to ensure law and order. If such smugglers are caught, strict action should be taken against them. So that such an event does not come to light again.
Even today, people from many villages are worried and diligent due to animal trafficking. There is an atmosphere of fear inside the villages. People are also getting out of the way. Now hope the police department comes to action and grabs such animal smugglers and punishes it harshly.
