Sunil K.R., regional convener of the Bajrang Dal, said on Saturday that the State government should form a separate force to protect cows.
Addressing presspersons here, Mr. Sunil said that cow thefts for the sake of slaughtering them affected the religious sentiments of Hindus.
“The incidents of transportation of cows without any permit, hoodwinking the police, in big vehicles are increasing,” he said.
