Maharashtra Goseva Ayog directs closure of livestock markets from 3 to 8 June

Mumbai, 1 June

The Maharashtra Goseva Ayog has asked the Agriculture Produce Market committees (APMCs) to ensure livestock markets are shut from 3 to 8 June because of the Bakrid festival to be celebrated on 7 June.

In letters to all the APMCs on 27 May, the commission said the law against cow progeny slaughter has been in force in the state from 4 March, 2015.

The letter asked the APMCs to remain vigilant. The slaughter of bovine animals, their transportation, sale and purchase, and storage are illegal, it said.
