The Border Security Force (BSF) seized 60 cattle meant to be smuggled to Bangladesh, officials informed.
The seizure was made during the last 24 hours from the border areas of East and West Jaiñtia Hills district.
“Most of the cattle were being brought clandestinely to the border area through forest by miscreants when BSF intercepted them. One truck loaded with cattle was also confiscated near Umkiang area, although driver and one of his accomplices managed to abscond from the spot,” BSF said.
While miscreants are trying to get maximum benefit from the heavy rain and inclement weather conditions, the BSF said, they were able to throw cold water on their plans as during the past six months more than 2000 cattle were seized from the international border.
