Telangana Seizes Illegal Oxytocin Injections for Livestock
In Telangana, some people were caught with many bottles of a medicine called Oxytocin.
This medicine is supposed to be used carefully, but these people were going to use it on cows to make them produce more milk.
This is not good for the cows' health.
The police and a special team took away these bottles and will take action against the people who were trying to sell them.
Using this medicine in this way is against the law and can lead to up to five years in jail.
Telangana DCA and Adilabad Police seized 109 unlabelled PET bottles of Oxytocin injections.
The injections were intended for illegal use in livestock to increase milk production.
