Police Seize Harmful Milk-Boosting Injections in UP Raid
Police in Nandurbar, UP, found a group making bad injections to make cows and buffaloes give more milk.
These injections have poisonous chemicals and are very harmful.
The police took away chemicals worth Rs 20.20 lakh.
The main chemical, oxytocin, is not allowed to be used this way.
It can make animals very sick and can also harm people who drink the milk.
The police are still investigating.
Police raided a house in Nandurbar and seized illegal milk-boosting injections worth Rs 20.20 lakh.
The injections contained banned and poisonous chemicals, primarily oxytocin, to increase milk production in cows and buffaloes.
Consumption of milk from animals given these injections can cause hormonal imbalances and premature puberty in humans.
For animals, these injections lead to severe health complications, including reproductive failure and painful contractions.
