In a commendable initiative aimed at reducing accidents involving stray cattle, the Goa Hindu Yuva Shakti group took the step of placing reflective belts on cows roaming the streets of Mapusa on Saturday. This effort is designed to increase the visibility of the animals, particularly during nighttime, thus preventing road mishaps. The group’s action comes in response to growing concerns about the safety of both animals and people, as stray cows often become victims of accidents due to poor visibility on poorly lit roads. This proactive move is being lauded as a positive example of community involvement in ensuring safety for both animals and humans​.
