President’s nod to Haryana’s anti-beef bill
CHANDIGARH: Almost eight months after the Haryana assembly cleared a bill against cow slaughter, it has finally got the President’s assent. The law carries a provision of up to 10 years’ jail term for offenders.
The state assembly had in March proposed doubling the current jail term of five years for those found involved in cow slaughter.
After the state government issues a notification, it will draft rules for the implementation of the new law. The bill has also proposed a fine up to Rs 1 lakh for cow slaughter apart from jail term. State animal husbandry minister Om Prakash Dhankar told TOI on Thursday that the bill got assent two days back.
