Port Blair, Apr 26: Thanks to the callous habit of some Islanders, stray cattle are falling serious ill after eating plastic and other garbage, thrown on the road.
In yet another incident a bull was found unconscious on the road this morning.
Looking at the condition of the cattle, a Group of youths, who call themselves as Future Foundation, immediately contacted the Veterinary Department. Soon due to dedicated efforts of the staffs of AH&VS the bull gain conscious and was found fit.
While the efforts of the youths of Future Foundation is laudable, there is a need to condemn the habit of public to throw plastic bags on road, which often leaves stray cattle sick.
However, residents of the area blame the PBMC for this as the PBMC has failed to provide even a garbage bin for the entire Old Pahargaon area, even after repeated request of local residents.
