Assam Police Detain 196 in Crackdown on Illegal Beef Sales
Imagine the police are making sure everyone follows the rules about selling beef.
They went to many restaurants and hotels in Assam and found some places breaking the law.
They caught almost 200 people and took away a lot of beef.
The law says you can't sell beef near temples or in places where many Hindus live.
This action happened because some people were caught breaking these rules during a recent religious holiday, and the government wants everyone to follow the law.
Assam police detained 196 people in a crackdown on illegal beef sales.
Raids were conducted at 178 locations, including hotels and restaurants.
Over 1,700 kg of beef was seized under the Assam Cattle Preservation Act, 2021.
The operation targeted areas violating the Act, which restricts beef sales near temples and Hindu-majority areas.
The crackdown follows recent arrests related to illegal cattle slaughter during Eid.
