Pune District Bans Fodder Transport Outside Amid Drought Concerns
Pune district administration has banned the transport and sale of all types of green and dry fodder outside the district amid drought conditions affecting eight talukas. The order, issued by District Collector Jitendra Dudi, aims to prevent fodder shortages for local livestock by restricting commercial movement, while exempting government-authorised transport. Violators may face legal action under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The ban remains in effect until further notice to safeguard fodder availability during the drought period.
