Mangaluru, Feb 18, 2023: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Ravikumar M R has withdrawn the order issued with regard to a ban on transportation of cattle in the district. The order was earlier issued in the wake of lumpy skin disease which was rampant in cattle.
It may be recalled here that as many as 7,036 cattle in 348 villages of the district had suffered from the disease and 394 of them had succumbed.
The DC has said that as many as 2,26,810 cows have been vaccinated against the disease in the district till February 15 and that since the past one week no new cases were detected. In this backdrop the earlier order on ban on cattle transportation has been revoked, he said.
