Assam Police rescued 79 cattle allegedly being transported illegally by boat in Dhubri district on Monday and arrested three people in connection with the operation. Acting on specific information, teams from Dhubri and Fakirganj police stations conducted separate operations targeting suspected cattle-smuggling activities. During the crackdown, police tracked and intercepted a boat allegedly being used to transport cattle through a river route. The cattle were safely recovered following the operation, while three individuals were taken into custody. Police said the action is part of an ongoing drive to curb illegal cattle transportation and dismantle smuggling networks operating through Assam’s riverine and border areas. Authorities have intensified surveillance of waterways and other vulnerable routes used for the alleged illegal movement of cattle. Police also warned that strict legal action would be taken against those involved in such activities, regardless of the routes used. The latest operation underscores the continued focus on monitoring Assam’s riverine corridors and preventing organised cattle-smuggling activities across the state.
