Karnataka Clarifies Grazing Policy in Response to Concerns

The government of Karnataka is not banning cows from grazing in forests completely.

Instead, they're letting local people, especially those living near the forests, continue to graze their cows, as it's a traditional practice.

However, cows brought in from other states will be restricted because too many cows are hurting the forests and the animals that live there.

The government is also helping local people find other ways to make a living, like raising different kinds of cows and growing food for them, to reduce the need for forest grazing.

This is happening because of a court decision and to protect the forests.
