Police have registered a case and initiated an investigation into the matter. Officials have assured that those responsible will be identified and strict legal action will be taken.
The repeated incidents have intensified calls for stricter monitoring and enforcement to ensure that such hazardous practices are stopped and rural areas remain safe for both animals and residents.
