Cow Vigilantes Halt Vasundhara Raje's Convoy
Some people who care about cows, called cow vigilantes, stopped a car group belonging to a former leader named Vasundhara Raje.
They did this on a road in Rajasthan, India.
The vigilantes were upset because they say the city workers are not taking care of dead cows properly.
They blocked the road for a short time, about 20 minutes.
The former leader told the local officials to fix the problem.
The city workers say they have been told to take care of the dead cows properly, but the vigilantes disagree.
The police are looking into what happened.
Cow vigilantes and Bajrang Dal activists blocked Vasundhara Raje's convoy on the Kota-Udaipur highway.
The protest was against the improper disposal of bovine carcasses by municipal authorities.
The convoy was stopped for nearly 20 minutes, causing a traffic jam.
Vasundhara Raje directed district officials to address the issue.
The Kota Municipal Corporation refuted the allegations, claiming proper disposal directives were already in place.
