Maneka stops train

FARIDABAD, DEC. 10. A Howrah-bound goods train from Punjab carrying 634 cows, allegedly meant for slaughtering, was stopped at the old railway station here, following an intervention by the Union Minister of State for Social Justice and animal activist, Ms. Maneka Gandhi.

Authorities arrested five persons escorting the animals under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and seized 175 bottles of oxytocine, a banned medicine used to increase milk yield, railway officials said.
