Bounty-hunters snarl traffic catching cows
The Delhi High Court passed an order Thursday instructing authorities to offer 2,000 rupees ($46) per cow — an average Indian’s monthly salary — to rid the city of the traffic menace.
With cows sacred to Hindus, who make up the bulk of India’s billion-plus population, an estimated 35,000 cows and buffalo roam free in the capital, sharing space with hordes of monkeys, camels and stray dogs.
