This law empowers the Madhya Pradesh government to regulate the keeping, maintenance, and movement of cattle to protect public health, safety, and convenience. It allows authorities to issue orders that can restrict where and how many animals are kept, inspect cattle sheds, and establish designated areas for them. The government can also impose fines or even seize animals and vehicles if people violate these rules. By doing so, the Act aims to manage the challenges associated with livestock in urban and specific areas, ensuring a balance between animal welfare and the needs of the general public.
