Stray cattle continue to rule Chennai streets

TNN | Sep 16, 2019, 04.20 AM IST

CHENNAI: Little did A R Basha expect to return with a broken harm from his stroll near the Parthasarathy temple, Triplicane. The septuagenarian was attacked by a stray cattle last week and sustained a fracture in the arm. Cattle menace is growing out of proportions on city streets, with an estimated 10 lakh of them in the urban limits, despite specific laws against it.

Hefty penalties, warnings and a spike in cattle impounded by the civic body don’t seem to deter the owners from reining in their livestock. The civic body has impounded 186 cattle and collected Rs 16.7 lakh in fines from April to July. Last financial year, the civic body had impounded 670 cattle and collected a fine of Rs 53 lakh.

“We implemented a new resolution passed in November 2017 last April, under which the penalty for owning a cattle in city limits was increased from Rs 1,550 to Rs 10,750. We have been acting on complaints. As per The Tamil Nadu Animals and Birds in Urban Areas (control and regulation) Act, 1997, cattle cannot be allowed indoors or outdoors in Chennai. There is also the Cattle Trespass (Tamil Nadu) Amendment Act, 1957 that specifies norms against this,” said Dr Kamal Hussain, city veterinary officer, Greater Chennai Corporation.

He said whenever they get complaints, the zonal officials immediately visit the spot and tag the cattle. “We collect fine the first time. If there are further complaints, we seize the animal and send it to the shelters in Pudupettai and Perambur,” he said.

Residents from areas such as Villivakkam, Royapettah have been complaining to the civic body about stray cattle menace for the past few years.

T Viswanath, a Royapettah resident, said, “Stray cattle on North Tank Square Street and Singrachari Street hinder smooth flow of traffic and attack senior citizens. Several of my friends were attacked. The menace continues despite the civic body increasing fine.”

S Manikandan, a resident of Villivakkam, said the menace is bigger than what meets the eye as the cattle are owned by powerful people. “There are nearly 20 cows in several streets such as Agathiar Nagar, New Avadi Road, around the park in Villivakkam. Since the owners are backed by some powerful people, talks are held every time we complain but the cattle are back on the streets. Sometimes mobs attack officials too,” he said.

Booking the violators under the Indian Penal Code section 289 (negligence conduct in respect to an animal) and section 11 (I and J) Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, might help, says Dawn William of Blue Cross. These are non-bailable sections and police can confiscate the cattle. “These animals not just cause traffic problems but eat plastic waste. Owners are willing to pay hefty fines as they earn about Rs 250-Rs 320 per kg of the animal for its meat. So unless the owners are arrested, the menace cannot be resolved,” he said.

CHENNAI: A partner in a partnership firm is entitled to sue other partners, the Madras High Court has held in a significant order, while permitting BR Srinivasa Rao, one of the partners in Cauvery Hospital to take steps to evict the hospital from its current premises in Villivakkam.

According to advocate VS Suresh, Rao’s partners were his close relatives. After certain disputes erupted in the family, Rao sought to evict the hospital from the premises. However, lower courts rejected his plea following which he moved the High Court.

Justice Saravanan of the High Court held that under Section 14 of the Partnership Act, property of the firm includes all property rights and interests brought into the stock of the firm. Unless a contrary intention appears, the property and rights and interest in the property acquired and the money belonging to the firm, are deemed to have been acquired by the firm.

Thus, unless the intention was to amalgamate the premises with that of Cauvery Hospital, it cannot be said that Rao cannot exercise an independent right over the property, which has been settled by his father to him.Therefore, it cannot be said that Rao cannot demand rent or seek for the eviction of the hospital from the premises merely because he also happens to be a partner in it.

CHENNAI: All engineering faculty and aspirants may soon have to undergo a mandatory eight-module teacher certification programme, said Anil Sahasrabudhe, the chairman of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). He was speaking at a national conference on innovation in higher education, conducted by Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI), here on Saturday.

The modules include passion for teaching, creating new curriculum, using Information and Communication Technology, classroom interaction with students, examination methodology, honing innovation and creativity, and administrative and leadership training, among others, he said.

“For teaching in a school, you currently need to have teachers’ training. Whereas, higher education faculty just needs a Ph.D. They do not have any pedagogical training,” he said, adding that many technical educators lack the ability to train students efficiently.

The certification will also include an industrial training to help teachers understand the industrial skill demands. “Teachers will have to spend time at an industry, the way students do an internship. After this, they must implement all their learning for a semester at a college to get their certificate,” said Sahasrabudhe.

Further, the certificate will be mandatory for existing faculty as well as to apply for promotion, he said.

Sahasrabudhe announced that the Ministry of Human Resource Development will soon launch a B.Tech programme on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science. He encouraged other universities to include courses like AI, Data Science, Internet of Things and Block Chain among others into the existing curriculum.

He said that all universities should revise their curriculum every year, to suit the real world needs. “The revision should be continuous and meaningful. We cannot be outdated in a world rapidly transforming everyday.”
