The District Magistrate of West Jaintia Hills has reminded that bull fight and any forms of animal fights have been banned in the district under Section 163 BNSS.
The order was again issued today because such events are still being conducted particularly during fetes and other festivals in some areas of the district.
Such events violate Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act, 1960 and Supreme Court ruling against Bull Fighting in 2014 judgment, the DC said.
Any violation of the order would be strictly dealt with as per legal provisions, the order said.
