| DB directs NGO to provide data of injured animals | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 24: A Division Bench of the J&K High Court comprising Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Sindhu Sharma on Wednesday asked advocate Sheikh Shakeel Ahmed, appearing for SAVE (an NGO working for the welfare of the animals) to produce month-wise data regarding the animals injured in road accidents on Jammu.
When the contempt petition filed by SAVE through its chairperson ,Devinder Kaur Madaan alias Rumpy Madaan alleging violation of the judgment passed by the Division Bench with regard to the non-constitution of District Societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals came up for hearing, advocate Shakeel invited the attention of the court towards the death of a horse and a camel on Jammu flyover and on National Highway near IIT Jagti (Nagrota) due to delayed arrival of the JMC vehicle meant for lifting of sick/injured animals.
Advocate Ahmed argued that there is only one vehicle with JMC for lifting of sick/injured animals and it took more than 3 hours for the said vehicle to reach on spot and because of delayed arrival both injured horse and camel succumbed to their injuries.
Advocate Ahmed further submitted that day in and day out the stray cattle and dogs are hit on road by the speedy vehicles and because of inadequate number of vehicles with JMC the injured animals die on the roads and further submitted that appropriate directions are required to be issued to the Commissioner, JMC to procure more vehicles for lifting sick/injured animals and similar directions are required to be issued to the Deputy Commissioner, Samba and Chief Animal Husbandry Officer, Samba for procuring the vehicles as recently at Bari Brahmana, a horse died due to excessive bleeding because of its late shifting to the Hospital. The court asked advocate Ahmed to give month-wise detail of animals injured in the road accidents in Jammu so that a view can be taken in this matter. |
