Stray cattle management an uphill task for Nepalgunj

Kathmandu - Management of cattle abandoned and released to the city area has become a big challenge for the office of Nepalgunj sub-metropolis. Hundreds of stray animals including abandoned cows, pigs, mule and dogs are not only visible in the main thoroughfares but also in the narrowed passages of Nepalgunj.

A year ago, the elected people's representatives and employees of the sub-metropolis had to take burden of a lawsuit on charge of mass killing of national animal cow. A large number of cows and oxen of Nepalgunj had died falling off the cliff in Surkhet while taking them to Dailekh for the management.
