Judge orders sacred cows off New Delhi streets

A court has ordered municipal authorities to remove stray cows roaming the streets of New Delhi within a week, a news report said today.

Indian commuters often share roads with cows, bulls, dogs and even elephants in cities, towns and villages. The stray cows not only disrupt the flow of traffic, but also add to the city’s garbage problem by rummaging through dustbins, looking for food.
