Too few cops to help tackle cattle menace

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) might be trying to round up stray cattle as quickly as possible, but the problem of inadequate "police staff' during the operations remains. On Tuesday, yet another MCD inspector was roughed up by irate illegal dairy owners in Saraswati Vihar, making it the third incident where MCD officials had to face the wrath of the public. The civic agency has to submit a status report on controlling the cattle menace before the Delhi High Court by August.
