Cattle Traders Strike in Maharashtra Over Harassment
The Qureshi community in Maharashtra, who trade in cattle, are on strike because they are being harassed by groups who are not the police.
These groups stop trucks carrying animals and take their livestock.
Even though the law says they can sell water buffalo, they are still being targeted.
The community wants the government to stop the harassment and allow them to do their business peacefully.
They appreciate the Deputy CM's statement but are waiting for real changes.
Maharashtra's Qureshi community is on strike, suspending cattle trade.
The strike protests harassment and vigilante attacks on lawful businesses.
The community's concerns extend beyond the cow slaughter ban to include water buffalo trade.
Self-styled vigilante groups are accused of intercepting vehicles and seizing animals.
The community awaits concrete action for the strike's resolution.
