The Upper Subansiri district administration has taken a significant step to ensure public safety and maintain cleanliness in the township by issuing a standing order regarding stray animals. The order directs owners of stray animals to immediately remove their livestock from public places, particularly the busy market area in Daporijo. This move is aimed at improving public safety, sanitation, and smooth movement of traffic within the township. The town magistrate has given animal owners a seven-day deadline to collect and keep their animals in proper shelters.
The administration has warned that any stray animal found roaming in the township, especially in the market area, after the expiry of the seven-day deadline will be seized and put up for public auction in accordance with the standing order. The administration has appealed to all livestock owners to cooperate with the directive and act responsibly to prevent inconvenience to pedestrians, motorists, and traders. The initiative is aimed at improving public safety, sanitation, and smooth movement of traffic within the township.
